Abstract

A vehicle lighting fixture can control the light distribution with higher accuracy while suppressing the light intensity unevenness of the light distribution even with a plurality of light sources used. The vehicle lighting fixture can include: a plurality of LED elements arranged in a vertical direction and a lateral direction; a projector lens assembly including two projector lenses disposed in front of the plurality of LED elements and configured to project light emitted from the plurality of LED elements forward; and an image shifter disposed in an optical path from the plurality of LED elements to a position forward of the projector lenses. The image shifter can include a plurality of prisms configured to widen light source images of the plurality of LED elements in the vertical and lateral directions.
