An apparatus secured to a lamp of a vehicle is designed to release the lamp upon impact to the lamp. The apparatus may secure with a lamp housing as well as with a front end module of a vehicle. The apparatus may include a fastener that secures with the lamp housing. When the lamp is impacted, the fastener may shear (e.g., break), thus allowing displacement of the headlamp. As a result, pedestrians and/or objects impacting the lamp are less likely to incur damage. Moreover, the lamp is less likely to be damaged, and may be reinstalled when the fastener is replaced.
