ABSTRACT:
A vehicular lamp having an improved external appearance, wherein a proximate part of a corner part of the reflective surface and a part (approximately the upper half) of the adjacent non-reflective surface are segmented in the diagonal direction in the prescribed width, and a plurality of small reflective surfaces are formed in a step-like manner in the diagonal direction in this segmental part. The front-view appearance of the lamp when the bulb is illuminated is improved thus through illumination of the reflector to the most exterior point at the corner part with the reflected light provided from the small reflective surfaces. The available solid angles on both sides of the segmental part are wider than in the case where the entire areas of the reflector are formed as a multiple reflection surface so as to eliminate every non-reflective surface at the corner part, and thus the influence on the light distributing performance is minimized.
