Abstract: An electrical connection system for interfacing with an end portion of a strut rod, wherein the electrical connection therebetween is sealed against environmental degradation and is unaffected by vehicular vibration, and wherein the electrical connection system is easily installed and easily serviced. A connector includes a connector shell having an upper end and an opposite lower end; an insert which carries a ground terminal and a power terminal within the connector shell; a lock ring which interfaces connectably with the connector shell to provide anchorage with the end portion of the strut rod; and seals at the upper and lower ends of the connector shell. The ground terminal connects with a ground cable and resiliently clips onto a smooth section of the end portion of the strut rod, wherein the strut rod serves as the ground conduit. The power terminal is connected with a power cable and abuts a pin axially resident in the strut rod.

Abstract: An arrangement of an automotive lamp assembly is provided including a reflector housing with a central opening; a discharge light assembly mounted to the reflector through the opening; a base supporting the discharge light assembly in the reflector, the base having a concentric conductor connected to the discharge light assembly at one end and a pin first terminal on an opposite end of the first conductor, and the base having a second eccentric conductor connected to the discharge light assembly on one end with a collar connected on an opposite end; a socket sealed with the base, the socket having a concentric conductor for mating with the base concentric conductor, the socket concentric conductor having a collar terminal at a first end toward the base and a blade terminal at a second opposite end, the socket also having an eccentric conductor having a collar terminal at a first end toward the base and a blade end at a second opposite end; an annular high voltage insulation member surrounding the first end of
