Abstract
A vehicle lamp includes a clearance lamp and an illumination unit for an active sensor. The illumination unit includes a near-infrared light source and a photoconductor. The photoconductor receives emitted light from the near-infrared light source and emits illumination light having a predetermined light distribution from an emission surface. The photoconductor is disposed such that a rear surface thereof faces a light emitting surface of the clearance lamp, and emits, from the emission surface, emitted light from the clearance lamp which is received at the rear surface.
