Abstract: A housing for a recessed light fixture for installation into a passenger compartment of a vehicle includes a composite trim assembly. The composite trim assembly includes a spacer and a trim member. The spacer operably engages the housing of the light fixture and the trim member is connected to the spacer. The spacer aligns the trim member with the housing such that the trim member does not contact the housing. Consequently, the trim member, which is exposed to the passenger compartment upon installation, maintains a lower temperature than the housing to which it is connected.
