A back light assembly for an automotive vehicle comprising a housing having separable housing parts forming a chamber for a light bulb. The housing parts are releasably secured together by at least one and preferably two elongated, flexible, compressible, stretchable fasteners. Each fastener extends through aligned passages in the respective housing parts. Each fastener has two enlargements, one engageable with an abutment in the passage of one housing part and the other engageable with an abutment in the passage of the other housing part to hold the housing parts together. The distance between the enlargements in the unstretched, free state condition of the fasteners, before installation, is less than the distance between the abutments, so that when installed, the fasteners are stretched and in tension. One of the enlargements of each fastener is adapted to engage the rear window of the vehicle when the back light assembly is properly mounted. The light bulb assembly comprises a channel-shaped supporting frame having side flanges which extend through slots in the front wall of the housing into the housing chamber. A light bulb on the base of the frame extends through an aperture in the front wall of the housing into the chamber. A resilient clip on the housing has a latching element provided with a shoulder adapted to snap over the frame to releasably retain the light bulb assembly. The supporting frame also serves as a heat shield for heat generated by the light bulb.
