A lighting device for a vehicle includes a first lighting part arranged on a stationary body part of the vehicle, and a second lighting part arranged on a movable body part of the vehicle. A gap in a vehicle width direction is provided between the first lighting part and the second lighting part. The first lighting part includes a first reflector and the second lighting part includes a second reflector. The first reflector is located forward of the second reflector in a vehicle forward-rearward direction, and the gap is rearward of the first reflector in the vehicle forward-rearward direction. The second reflector is inclined toward one of the first reflector and the gap.

Lighting device

A vehicle lamp can include first and second lamp units or portions that each have a light emission portion that extends across a gap between two vehicle body portions, such as a door panel, quarter panel, trunk lid, etc. The first and second lamp units/portions can be configured such that it appears that the vehicle lamp extends seamlessly and without detectable lighting variation across the gap between vehicle body portions.
