ABSTRACT:
A headlamp wherein an auxiliary reflector is arranged at at least one of portions close to above, left or right ends of a main reflector providing an effective section of a reflecting mirror and outside a range that forms a light distribution characteristic. The auxiliary reflector reflects a light in a direction adjacent to a side opposite to a side at which the auxiliary reflector is arranged relative to the light distribution characteristic defined by the main reflector. The novel constitution allows a headlamp of this type, in which a light having a relatively large tilt angle from the optical axis has been conventionally prevented by the housing of the headlamp from being radiated, to effectively radiate such a light in a desired direction and in a necessary range.
