Abstract
In order to provide a vehicle lamp in which the number of components for enabling a shade to move is small, this vehicle lamp is equipped with a light source, a heat sink, a reflector that reflects light from the light source forward, a lens that radiates light forward, and a light distribution pattern switching part that is disposed between the lens and the light source. The light distribution pattern switching part is equipped with a bracket, a crank that is supported by a bracket support section, a shade that moves rotationally so as to switch the light distribution pattern, and a support shaft that rotatably supports the shade and is secured to the bracket. The crank is equipped with a rotating shaft section that is supported by the bracket support section so as to be able to rotate horizontally across the bracket, and a rotational movement section which is disposed on one end of the rotating shaft section and which causes the shade to move rotationally by rotating in the vertical direction around the rotating shaft. The support shaft is disposed so as to cut horizontally across the rotating shaft section of the crank so that the rotating shaft section of the crank does not separate from the bracket support section.
