ABSTRACT:
An in-vehicle illuminating device1capable of efficiently guiding luminous flux emitted from a luminous source to a light guiding body. The in-vehicle illuminating device1is provided with a rod-shaped light guiding body13which reflects, on its inner surface, light rays incident from an optical incidence plane16provided at an end13ato guide the light rays to the other end longitudinally provided, a lamp19which emits light to a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped light guiding body13and is arranged in the vicinity of the optical incidence plane16,and an light introducing body20for introducing the luminous flux emitted from the lamp19to the optical incidence plane16. The light introducing body20allows the optical incidence plane16to be set within a range of the luminous flux emitted from the lamp19.
