Abstract
A vehicle lamp includes a projection lens and a first light source. Light emitted from the first light source is irradiated forward through the projection lens. The shade blocks a part of light from the first light source toward the projection lens to form a low beam light distribution pattern. The light emitting unit causes light to be incident onto the projection lens to form a high beam supplementary light distribution pattern. The light emitting unit includes a second light source and a transparent member. Light emitted from the second light source is incident on the transparent member. The transparent member emits the incident light from the front end surface thereof. An emission window is formed in the upper surface of the transparent member and in rear of a front edge of the upper surface. The emission window emits the light incident onto the transparent member, toward the projection lens.
