The projecting portion of the lens defines a pocket that is recessed therein. The lamp assembly also includes: a cover disposed within the pocket, and a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB is disposed between the housing and the lens and has a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted thereto for illuminating the lens.
