An irradiating direction control device of a lamp for a vehicle carries out an operation for a vehicle attitude based on detection information obtained by vehicle height detecting means and changes the irradiating direction of the lamp according to the vehicle attitude. Nonvolatile storage means is caused to store data indicate of an actual vehicle height value in the reference state of the vehicle attitude or a difference between the actual vehicle height value and a vehicle height value for a vehicle design, thereby calculating the tilt of the vehicle attitude based on vehicle height data corrected by the stored data at time of irradiation control and controlling the irradiating direction of the lamp correspondingly.
