Abstract
A vehicle lamp according to an aspect of the present invention includes a light source, a metal light-source stage including a light-source mounting portion, and a lens member that emits light from the light source toward the front of the lamp. The light-source stage includes a support portion for the lens member. The lens member includes a leg projecting toward the light-source stage and having an end that is supported by the support portion. The support portion includes three projections that abut the leg in a state in which the leg is supported by the support portion and position the lens member in a direction of an optical axis. The three projections are positioned relative to one another such that at least a portion of the light source lies in an extension range of a triangle with vertices given by the three projections.
