Abstract
A lens includes extended lens portions extending leftward and rightward beyond a high beam reflecting portion, respectively. The lens forms an X shape when viewed from the front, due to the extended lens portions. Paired left and right light guide members are disposed below a reference axis of a low beam bulb on lateral sides of a high beam bulb, respectively. Extension members are disposed along side edges of the lens in such a manner as to cover front sides of the light guide members, respectively. Opening portions are formed in the extension members so as to guide light from the light guide members to the extended lens portions respectively. Light from the low beam bulb is emitted to an outside through the light guide members, the opening portions, and the extended lens portions.
