Abstract
A lighting fixture equipped with a reflex reflector, for vehicles includes a transparent outer lens, a housing, and a light source. The reflex reflector is provided in an internal surface of the housing at a location at which incident light can be reflected through the outer lens in a predetermined direction, such that a surface of the reflex reflector and the internal surface of the housing are arranged on the same plane. The reflex reflector has a rear surface thereof covered with a rear cover in order to prevent a reflecting cut surface of the reflex reflector from being covered with dust. If an ornamental plate is provided within a light body of the lighting fixture, the reflex reflector is integrally formed with the ornamental plate, or alternatively separately formed from the same. In both the cases, the surface of the reflex reflector and the internal surface of the ornamental plate are arranged on the same plane.
