Abstract
The present invention provides a semiconductor-type light source, a lens, a light control member, and a driving member. The lensis made of a main lens portionand an auxiliary lens portion. The light control memberis made of a light shading portionand a light transmission portion. The driving memberis configured to position the light control memberin such a manner as to be changeably movable between a first location and a second location. As a result, the present invention is capable of obtaining an optimal light distribution pattern for low beam LP and an optimal light distribution pattern for high beam HP.
