ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a vehicular headlamp, which has a reflecting surface curved outward, a lens covering the front of the reflecting surface and a filament disposed at a predetermined position at the reflecting surface, whereby the light emitted from the filament is reflected at the reflecting surface to irradiate a low beam. This headlamp further has an auxiliary reflecting surface provided at a position out of the region which extends from the filament and covers the effective reflecting surface of the reflecting surface. The auxiliary reflecting surface is positioned substantially horizontal and substantially parallel to the irradiation direction. The vehicular headlamp with the above structure can therefore produce beams to illuminate overhead signs from the light reflected at the auxiliary reflecting surface while emitting no dazzling light to an approaching vehicle from the auxiliary reflecting surface. Further, this headlamp does not deteriorate the designability of the lens.
