1. An electric lamp assembly to be mounted to a windowpane such as a rear windowpane of a motor vehicle with ready electrical connection to power supply means, the lamp assembly comprising:
- (a) a lamp body;
(b) light source means within the lamp body;
(c) connector means electrically connected to the light source means;
(d) a pair of electrically conductive power supply patterns to be formed on a windowpane;
(e) a first pair of fastener means of electrically conductive material to be secured respectively to the pair of power supply patterns on the windowpane in electrically conducting relationship to the power supply patterns; and
(f) a second pair of fastener means for fastening the lamp body to the first pair of fastener means, respectively, and for holding the connector means in electrical contact with the first pair of fastener means;
(g) whereby the light source means is electrically connected to the power supply patterns on the windowpane at the same time the lamp body is mounted to the windowpane.

Abstract
A pair of conductive patterns, which are to be electrically connected to the battery of a motor vehicle, are formed as by baking on the interior surface of the rear windowpane of the vehicle. A pair of nuts or brackets of electrically conductive material are soldered to the conductive patterns. The lamp body of a supplemental high mounted stop lamp are fastened to the nuts or brackets, with the light sources of the lamp electrically connected in circuit therewith.
