An accent lamp having a solid state light source, such as LEDs, is attachable to a rear surface of an automotive headlamp opposite the light-generating capsule. Accent lamp has first retaining member, such as a clamp, formed above printed circuit board on which LED is mounted. Headlamp base defines light passageway, formed as a light guide, extending from outermost peripheral surface to an upper surface on which lamp capsule is retained. Accent lamp is readily detachably mounted to headlamp, preferably by resilient first and second retaining members, and, when mounted, can be biased to promote optical coupling of light source to light guide.
