Abstract
A high-definition lamp unit emits lamp beam with a light distribution containing a cut-off line. A sensor is provided to detect a dynamic component of a pitch angle of a vehicle body during travel. A controller shifts the level of a cut-off line of the light distribution up and down, with reference to a predetermined level defined as a base, corresponding to the dynamic component of the pitch angle of the vehicle body.
