ABSTRACT:
A cylindrical lens extends generally in a width direction of a vehicle, and light from three light-emitting elements, rearward of a rear focal line of the cylindrical lens, is reflected forward by three reflectors. A reflecting surface of each reflector has an elliptical vertical cross-sectional shape in a vertical plane perpendicular to the rear focal line. The first focus is at a center of light-emission of the corresponding light-emitting element, while the second focus lies at a point in the vicinity of the rear focal line. The rate of utilization of light flux from each light-emitting element is enhanced, and a luminous distribution patter having a relatively small width in an upward-downward orientation is formed. When the cylindrical lens and each reflector are deviated from their respective proper positions in the direction of the width of the vehicle, the luminous distribution patter of a constant shape can be formed.
