Abstract
A vehicle headlamp includes: a first light source configured to form at least a high-beam light distribution pattern; and a second light source including a laser diode and configured to form an additional light distribution pattern that irradiates a distance equal to or farther than that of the high-beam light distribution pattern. An optical axis of the second light source is configured to be inclined by a predetermined angle in the left-right direction from an optical axis of the first light source, at least during a period while light is irradiated.
