ABSTRACT:
A headlight for an automotive vehicle has a reflector formed substantially in a semicircular shape above the optical axis of the headlight so as to serve as its reflective portion and an upper portion of the reflector extends forwardly from the reflective portion to serve as a light shielding portion. Another light shielding portion is provided below a lamp bulb, which is included in the headlight, and is arranged substantially in parallel relation with the optical axis. An upper lens element of the lens of the headlight has a cross section determined in such a manner that the rays of light incident upon the upper lens element from the reflective portion of the reflector are downwardly refracted, and the vertical dimension of a lower lens element of the lens of the headlight is reduced as compared with a conventional headlight.
