Abstract: A mounting assembly for mounting a replaceable light bulb in a headlight assembly. The mounting assembly has a pair of mounting straps. Each mounting strap has a stem and a U-shaped channel. The U-shaped channel has three sides wherein the first and second sides are basically parallel to each other and perpendicular to the third side. The first and second sides each have a flange attached to the end opposite the third side. In addition, the first and/or second sides have an elongated slot for a portion of their length for receiving a section of a light bulb when the light bulb is mounted in the mounting straps. The light bulb is secured within the mounting straps by connecting the flanges of one strap to the flanges of the other strap by welding or rivets.
