A lamp assembly 100 for a vehicle comprises a housing 102 having a first locating feature (110, fig 2) for locating a first portion (112) of the housing relative to bodywork of a vehicle. A first bracket 114 is on the housing, and a second bracket 116 is releasably attached to the first bracket. The first and second brackets are configured such that: during manufacture of the vehicle, an initial position of the lamp assembly relative to the bodywork can be established using the first locating feature, and then a final position of the lamp assembly relative to the bodywork can be fixed using the second bracket; and subsequently detaching the second bracket from the first bracket allows removal of the lamp assembly from the bodywork. Methods of installation are also disclosed, as is a method of modifying a location of bracket-locating features on the brackets based on feedback from installation of lamp assemblies in vehicles.
