Abstract
A projection-type vehicle light includes a light source, a front lens that includes a plurality of aspherical lenses, and a reflector unit for directing reflected light rays incident to a corresponding aspherical lens. A plurality of elipse group reflector units can be used having a common first focus located round the light source, and a plurality of second foci respectively positioned between a focus of a corresponding aspherical lens and a front of the corresponding aspherical lens. The projection-type vehicle light provides a unique appearance with superior transparency of the front lens and a three dimensional feeling when viewed. The projection-type vehicle light also has a high efficiency of light rays reflected by a reflecting surface incident to an aspherical lens, and provides horizontally wide and highly uniform light distribution patterns.
