Abstract

A vehicle headlight () includes a light source unit () including a plurality of light emitting elements (), a reflector () that scans light from the plurality of light emitting elements () to form a light distribution pattern (), and a control unit (). The control unit () controls the light source unit () such that the light amount of light emitted from some light emitting elements to a predetermined region (AR) overlapping a target object does not change and the light amount of light emitted from other some light emitting elements to the predetermined region (AR) overlapping the target object changes among the light emitting elements that emit light to the predetermined region (AR) overlapping the target object in the superimposition region (PA).
