ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for illuminating an area in front of a vehicle, including a lamp and means for deflecting a radiation direction of the lamp in response to a steering action, except when the steering action is performed in a direction opposite to a direction indicated by a turn signal from a turn signal switch. When the direction of the turn signal does not match the steering direction, the radiation direction of the lamp is maintained in the straight traveling direction of the vehicle until a predetermined period of time has passed. The exception might not be realized if the vehicle is traveling above a predetermined speed.
