A vehicle lamp assembly where the lamp housing 14 and its lens 18 are designed to have a sharp corner 21. A pressed metal recess 11 is provided at a side of the vehicle tailgate for receiving lamp housing 14. A corner 15 of the recess 11 has an oversized radius (16, Fig. 4) to accommodate the full depth of the lamp housing 14 at corner 21. A finisher element 13 covers the void (11F, Fig. 3) left by radius 16, so that after assembly, the void is not visible. A flange 20 is moulded onto inner wall 14F of lamp housing 14 to block see-through into recess 11. Advantage: sharp styling without tearing metal on pressing, or incorporating weak point at corner of tail light lens. This feature may be applied to a vehicle wing, with a finisher element comprising a bumper.
