Abstract
A water drain includes an outer opening formed on a flange of a lamp body, a recess formed on a flange of a lens, a path formed between the flanges, and a slope rising toward the lens and the lamp body. Water splashed by a front wheel of a motorcycle is downwardly reflected by the slope on the lens, thereby reducing the amount of water entering via the outer opening. Furthermore, the outer opening is tapered toward its inner side which makes it difficult for water to pass therethrough. Still further, front and rear indicators can be realized using common components.
