Abstract
A vehicular lamp includes a projection lens, a light source disposed to the rear of the projection lens, and an additional lens. First light from the light source is irradiated to the front through the projection lens to form a predetermined light distribution pattern. The projection lens has an elongated external shape when the lamp is seen from the front. The additional lens is disposed on a circumference of the projection lens and configured to control second light from the light source to forwardly pass through the additional lens.
