ABSTRACT:
A vehicle lamp in which a sealing groove is formed circumferentially in the inclined front opening of a lamp body for containing a light source 14 and the sealing leg of a front lens engages integrally with the sealing groove via a sealing material is such that the base of the sealing groove in cross section is sloped with respect to a plane perpendicularly intersecting the direction of inserting the sealing leg and that on the inclined base, there are provided cross projections and extending in the direction of intersecting the sealing groove in order to prevent the sealing leg from sliding in the width direction of the sealing groove. When the sealing leg is forced in, it is brought into contact with the cross projections and prevented from being inserted to a degree exceeding a predetermined quantity. As each of the cross ribs making contact with the sealing leg intersects the direction of inserting the sealing leg, there is no possibility that the sealing leg is caused to slide in the width direction of the sealing groove.
