Abstract
An object of the present invention is to prevent dazzlement from being caused by beams of light directly emitted from a light source, without requiring any bulky component member. A vehicular headlamp comprises a light source , a reflector , a cut-line forming shade for forming a cut line, and a condenser lens . The cut-line forming shade cuts off some beams of light emitted from the light source and reflected by the reflector and forms shaped beams of light. The condenser lens projects the shaped beams of light forwards and radiates them according to a light distribution pattern. An opening is formed between the condenser lens and the reflector. A dazzling-light cutting shade for cutting off beams of light emitted toward a region above the light distribution pattern is disposed between the light source and the opening.
