ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is to provide a design method and design system for a vehicular lamp, a program to execute designing of vehicular lamp and a record medium recording the program, which are capable of improving an efficiency of designing a lamp satisfying design conditions including performance conditions required as the vehicular lamp and restriction conditions given to each lamp. A vehicular lamp design system1includes: a database unit2having a standard database21registering standard data of a lamp and a technology database22registering technology data; and a lamp preparation unit3having a standard data selection part31and a morphing control part32. The standard data selection part31generates design data by selecting standard data from the standard database21based on given design conditions. The morphing control part32updates a necessary part of the design data by use of the technology data of the technology database22.
