ABSTRACT:
A vehicle lamp that looks attractive, whether the lamp is on or off, has a transparent cap attached to a reflector having a plurality of reflective surface elements. The transparent cap is attached to the reflector so as to cover the light bulb. A plurality of pillars are provided near the front end portion of the transparent cap for intercepting light emitted from the light bulb. On the front surface of these pillars are formed reflective surfaces. When the lamp is turned off, both the reflective surfaces of the reflector and the pillars glitter. When the lamp is turned on, the spaces between the pillars on the front end portion of the transparent cap shine.
