Two limiting blocks 10 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the two step light plates 4. The outer surfaces of the two limiting blocks 10 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two limiting holes 12 respectively. Two fixing covers 9 are fixedly embedded in the outer surface of the protective cover 2. Springs 7 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of 9. Sliding blocks 8 are fixedly installed on the ends of the two springs 7 that are close to each other. Positioning slots 11 are opened on the sides of the two limit blocks 10 that are far apart from each other. Two recessed hand seats 13 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the step light plate 4. The step light seat 1 is the installation base of the entire car step light.

[0026] In a further embodiment, both conductive components 6 include electrode posts 601 fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the step light plate 4. Two fixed electrode seats 603 are fixedly embedded on the upper surface of the step light base 1. Conductive elastic components 604 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom walls of the two fixed electrode seats 603. Electrode connecting seats 602 are fixedly connected to the top ends of the two conductive elastic components 604. The bottom ends of the two electrode posts 601 are in close contact with the inner walls of the two electrode connecting seats 602 respectively. During the installation of the step light plate 4, the electrode posts 601 are in close contact with the electrode connecting seats 602.
