A saddle riding vehicle cornering light structure is provided on a saddle riding vehicle which banks a vehicle body in a rightward-leftward direction and performs cornering, and enlarges an illumination range in a direction to which the vehicle body is banked at the cornering, the structure including: a banking angle detection device that detects a banking angle of the vehicle body using a distance measurement device which measures a distance to a road surface; and a light main body that illuminates the direction to which the vehicle body is banked in accordance with the banking angle detected by the banking angle detection device.

Saddle riding vehicle cornering light structure

A lighting device for a vehicle has a base member and a lens. A light emitting diode and a reflector are housed in a space formed by the base member and the lens. The light emitting diode is disposed at a predetermined position on a support member extending into the space. The support member is provided with a wall which is located in front of and near the light emitting diode and which is higher than the light emitting diode. In a front view, the wall hides the light emitting diode and blocks light exiting directly from the light emitting diode without propagating through the reflector.
