The base plate has an opening therein in which is pivotally mounted a bulb carrying insert, with the insert being moveable between a flush position and a projecting position relative to the base plate. A solenoid connected in series with the light bulb in the light circuit is activated when the circuit is actuated and moves the insert from its flush position to its projecting position. In a first embodiment, a bow light, a spring is provided to assist the solenoid in moving the insert to its projecting position. In a second embodiment, a side light, a spring is provided to return the insert to its flush position.
