The lens is secured with a retainer cap and a plurality of retainer clips. Each of the retainer clips comprises as least one side including an outwardly extending leg for retention with the retainer cap, and may include one or more of a rivet or piece of double-sided tape for securing each of the retainer clips, a spring biased portion engaging the lens, and a J-hook forward edge for engaging the lens.
