Abstract
An in-vehicle illuminating devicecapable of efficiently guiding luminous flux emitted from a luminous source to a light guiding body. The in-vehicle illuminating deviceis provided with a rod-shaped light guiding bodywhich reflects, on its inner surface, light rays incident from an optical incidence planeprovided at an endto guide the light rays to the other end longitudinally provided, a lampwhich emits light to a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped light guiding bodyand is arranged in the vicinity of the optical incidence planeand an light introducing bodyfor introducing the luminous flux emitted from the lampto the optical incidence plane. The light introducing bodyallows the optical incidence planeto be set within a range of the luminous flux emitted from the lamp
