ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a headlight for vehicle use in which an upper reflector unit and a lower reflector unit are arranged, capable of ensuring a sufficiently large quantity of light of a main beam so that the visibility can be enhanced in the case of driving at night. A low beam reflector unit and a main beam reflector, are integrated with each other, each having a light source bulb. Direct light emitted from the main beam light source bulb passes through a space in the front of the boundary section between both reflectors and is incident on the reflector surface of the low beam reflector unit. Therefore, when the main beam light source bulb is turned on, direct light emitted from the main beam light source bulb is reflected on the reflecting surface of the low beam reflector and irradiated to the front. At the same time, direct light emitted from the main beam light source bulb is also reflected on the main beam reflecting surface and irradiated to the front. Due to the foregoing, it is possible to increase a quantity of light of the main beam.
