Abstract
A bulband a reflecting plateare disposed in offset relation to a lensso that an optical axis LBof a beam, emitted from the bulb, and an optical axis LBof reflection light, reflected by the reflecting plate, can intersect an axis CL of the lensin a forward-rearward direction of a vehicle. Therefore, the beam can be radiated forwardly without directing the lensforwardly. In the case where two reflecting surfacesandof an identical shape are provided symmetrically on the reflecting plate, and are arranged in the forward-rearward direction of the vehicle, and there are provided a pair of bulbs, a pair of reflecting platesand a pair of lenseach pair of which are provided respectively for left and right (two) directions, the pair of reflecting plates, having an identical construction, are used. Therefore, the cost can be reduced, and this also prevents an erroneous operation in which the two reflecting plates are mounted in a reversed manner.
