Abstract
In a vehicular lamp system for an automotive vehicle, a first reflector () equipped with a light source, a second reflector () enabled to deflect a reflection direction thereof toward a vehicular turn direction independently of the first reflector, and a driving section () that operatively performs a deflection drive for the first and second reflectors are provided. A controller () controls the driving section(s) on the basis of a vehicular velocity detected by a vehicular velocity detector () and a steering angle detected by a vehicular steering angle detector () in such a manner that the second reflector is deflected toward the vehicular turn direction according to the detected steering angle when the detected vehicular velocity falls in an extremely low vehicular velocity range and that the first reflector is deflected toward the vehicular turn direction according to the steering angle when the detected vehicular velocity falls in a high vehicular velocity range.
