Abstract: This invention provides an improved vehicle locator system (10) combining a remote transmitting unit (20) and a vehicle mounted receiving unit (50) which actuate a light source (58) mounted on a vehicle's exterior to facilitate location of the vehicle by the operator in a crowded or dimly lit parking lot, garage, or the like. The system is also capable of selectively actuating the vehicle's horn. The receiving unit (50) includes a generally U-shaped clip (78) having a first and second facing, generally planar panels (80) & (82) adapted to engage the inner and outer faces, respectively, of a vertically adjustable, moveable vehicle window. The panels (80) & (82) are joined along a common bight (84) with the distance between the panels (80) & (82) being less than the thickness of the window to assure secure frictional engagement with the window as the clip (78) is seated over the top edge of the partially lowered vehicle window.
