Abstract
A vehicle lamp unit includes a plurality of light emitting units, each light emitting unit including a semiconductor light emitting element, a circuit substrate on which the semiconductor light emitting element is mounted and having a circuit for supplying power to the semiconductor light emitting element, and an optical member for reflecting or refracting light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting element, and a coupling mechanism which couples the plurality of light emitting units. The plurality of light emitting units are arranged such that the circuit substrates are separated from each other and partially overlap with each other in a vehicle width direction. A number of the plurality of light emitting units is three or more.
