Provided is a vehicle lamp including an optical unit including an optical element and a solenoid that drives the optical element; and a driving circuit configured to receive a voltage from a DC power supply and apply a driving voltage to the solenoid. The driving circuit includes a signal generating circuit that generates a notification signal indicating whether or not the solenoid is open-circuited. The signal generating circuit generates a first signal as the notification signal when the solenoid is normal. The notification signal is set as a second signal that is different from the first signal when open-circuit of the solenoid is detected.

Vehicle lamp

A vehicular lampincluding a lamp chamber, which is formed with a lamp bodyand a transparent front coverattached to the front opening of the lamp body, and a lamp unit, which includes a reflectorand a light sourceand is provided in the lamp chamberso that the optical axis direction of the lamp unit is adjusted by a tilting movement adjustment mechanism, wherein a millimeter wave radar deviceis attached to the lamp body, and a reflection mirrorthat reflects, toward the front of the lamp, a millimeter wave signalemitted by the millimeter wave radar device is attached to a supporting framewhich is a part of the tilting movement adjustment mechanism.

Vehicular lamp
