This is the part I like...

There is a retaining spring that holds the socket in..



This is how it looks from the other side..



This cool..they used the cutouts in the socket to not only retain the bulb, but to also retain the spring keeper, and to retain the assembled socket in the grill

And this shows the ear in the socket mounting hole..with the socket held up behind
