Abstract

An illumination fixture (10) for a vehicular air cleaner housing (14), which is arranged and configured to position the fixture in the interior (13) of the housing's intake section (27). The illumination fixture is also arranged and configured to illuminate through a screen (20) of the intake section the exterior (41) of the housing with a source of illumination (16). The illumination fixture includes a panel (11) having an outer circumference (12) configured to pass through the interior (13) of the intake section. The panel includes one or more apertures each in which a source of illumination is positioned. Diametrically opposed mounting bracket attachment sites are also positioned in the panel to which fasteners are positioned for attaching mounting brackets to the panel. Mounting brackets (17) each include a panel attachment site (18) for attachment to the panel and an intake section attachment site (19) for attachment to the intake section. The panel and mounting bracket are positioned in the interior of the intake section so as to recess the illumination fixture in the top end cap of the air cleaner and produce a glowing light effect by the use of indirect light passing through the screen of the intake section to the exterior of the housing. The illumination fixture including the panel, mounting brackets, sources of illumination and fasteners are provided in a see-through package (26) for easy viewing and inspection by the consumer.
