An auxiliary light is provided with a housing having a light element in an inside thereof and an axially supporting portion in a side portion, and a bracket having a stand portion which is axially supported to the side portion of the housing by the axially supporting portion and a base portion which can be suitably supported to the vehicle. In this structure, a circular arc portion having a center of substantially center portion of the housing in a right and left direction is formed in both of the stand portion of the bracket and the axially supporting portion of the housing.

Auxiliary light

A lamp unit attaching structure for attaching a head lamp to a bumper plate through a bracket in the present invention is constructed by a head lamp having an attaching portion in a position shifted from a central position of the head lamp in its height direction, and a bracket. The bracket has bent portions formed in both end portions of the bracket and bent in the same direction, assembling portions formed in end tip portions of said bent portions to assemble the bracket into said attaching portion, and an extending portion extending from said bent portions in one of a progressing direction of a light beam of said head lamp or a direction reverse to this progressing direction. Accordingly, it is possible to cope with various kinds of distances between the bumper plate and the ground on the basis of differences in kind of a car body by changing assembling directions of the head lamp and the bracket and attaching the head lamp and the bracket to the bumper plate.
