A vehicle lamp wherein a mounting member,A for mounting and fixing a lamp unit,onto a vehicle body is projected from the outer surface of a synthetic-resin lamp body,forming part of the lamp unit,. The mounting member,A is formed of synthetic-resin and incorporated into the lamp body,by welding. A material greater in strength than the lamp body,is used as the material of the mounting member,A to secure sufficient strength for the mounting member,A. The quantity H of projection of the mounting member,A from the outer surface of the lamp body,is made smaller than the quantity of projection of any conventional mounting member, so that the depth of a lamp chamber can be set greater.
