Abstract
A vehicular bulb with its front end coated with a glare-protection paint that contains silicon carbide (SiC) as its pigment substance. With this silicon carbide contained paint, the front end externally assumes a color that is substantially the same color as reflectors and is thus prevented from being easily recognized from the outside of a lighting fixture that is installed with such a bulb.
