Abstract
A reflector includes a first reflector portion located above the central axis of a headlamp extending in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle, and a second reflector portion located below the central axis. A first light source and a second light source are arranged such that: the light emitted from the first light source is reflected by the first reflector portion to form a first light distribution pattern; and the light emitted from the second light source forms two partial light distribution patterns by being reflected with both the first reflector portion and the second reflector portion, and a second light distribution pattern, which is different from the first light distribution pattern, is formed by combining the two partial light distribution patterns.
