Abstract
A vehicle light can prevent the generation of glare light due to the reflection of light from a connecting surface surrounding a reflecting surface when a lens body including the reflecting surface and the connecting surface surrounding the reflecting surface is used and light emitted from an LED light source enters the lens body. The vehicle light can include a light source and a lens body. The lens body can include optical surfaces including the reflecting surface configured to form a predetermined light distribution pattern, and connecting surfaces that shape and define a structure of the lens body by connecting the optical surfaces, but that do not engage in the formation of the light distribution pattern. The connecting surface surrounding the reflecting surface can reflect part of incident light from the light source to a direction that is different from the direction by the reflecting surface and is directed to any one of connecting surfaces. One of the connecting surfaces can receive the light reflected by the connecting surface and project the light therethrough.
