Abstract: An exterior lamp system for a vehicle having a reflector housing coupled by a vibration damping clip is described. The vibration damping clip may be formed a molded portion of a plastic lamp housing. The clip may take to the form of a reversing curve structure made from a flexible material. One end of the clip is coupled to the lamp housing, while the other end is in contact with the automobile. A damper formed from a vibration damping material, such as foamed plastic, is coupled between the first and second clip ends of the reversing curve to suppress vibration transmitted from the automobile to the lamp.
