Abstract
Disclosed is a vehicle lamp including a pair of lamp modules configured to form a pair of left and right light distribution patterns by irradiation light therefrom. Each lamp module includes a first lamp unit that uses a light emitting diode as a light source and a second lamp unit that uses a laser diode as a light source, a pair of first light distribution patterns is formed by irradiation light from the first lamp unit, and a pair of second light distribution patterns, which is smaller and brighter than the first light distribution patterns, is formed by irradiation light from the second lamp unit. The first light distribution patterns are formed with a predetermined distance therebetween in a left-and-right direction, the second light distribution patterns are formed to partially overlap each other between the pair of first light distribution patterns and to partially overlap the first light distribution patterns.
