Abstract
The present invention provides vehicle lighting capable of forming an irradiation pattern with a desired brightness distribution while efficiently utilizing light from light sources. The vehicle lighting includes both the light sources disposed in parallel, a condenser lens that condenses light from the light sources, a light-shielding member provided with an irradiation slit, and a projection lens that projects the light, and forms an irradiation pattern. The incident surface has a curved incident surface section and an annular incident surface section, the condenser lens has a reflective surface that surrounds the curved incident surface section, the first light source is disposed such that a first emitting surface is located on a projection lens optical axis of the projection lens, and the second light source is disposed inside the annular incident surface section such that a second emitting surface does not intersect the projection lens optical axis.
