Abstract
The present invention provides a vehicle lamp device capable of relieving the impact acting from the vehicle lamp device to an obstacle, and thereby achieving a simple and relatively spaceless structure. The vehicle lamp device comprises a thin grooved portion (a displacement allowing structure) for allowing the housing to be displaced. The displacement allowing structure is provided in an interfering portion of the housing interfering with a front side frame (a vehicle body member) which locates in the displacement area where the housing is displaced and interrupts the housing to be displaced when the vehicle lamp device collides with an obstacle.
