A vehicle light attachment mechanism is disclosed for attaching a vehicle light to a vehicle body. The attachment mechanism includes a pair of hooks arranged on the vehicle light, one of which is elastic and the other of which is non-elastic. Each hook can engage an aperture of the vehicle body in opposing directions. A positioning boss can be placed adjacent either the elastic hook or the non-elastic hook for extending through a positioning through hole on the vehicle body having a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the positioning boss. Furthermore, at least one projection boss may be provided to distance the housing and the vehicle body and spread external forces applied from the vehicle light toward the vehicle body over an outer surface of the vehicle body. At least one projection boss can also be used as a positioning boss to provide at least two positioning points in combination with said positioning boss for the housing. Since the attachment mechanism does not include any metal attachment parts, such as a stud bolt, the vehicle light can be easily recycled and the components of the light can be easily sorted when the vehicle light is disposed of and destroyed.
