Abstract
An apparatus includes a light chamber defined by a lamp body and a front cover. The apparatus houses a projection-type light source unit which integrates a reflector, a light source disposed in the vicinity of a first focal point of the reflector, a convex lens disposed in front of the reflector, and an extension reflector. The convex lens is disposed such that light external from the lamp chamber enters the lamp chamber and is reflected out through the convex lens.
