ABSTRACT:
An air hole 20 substantially longitudinally passing through a reflector 12 is formed so that it is opened in the substantially uppermost end portion of the reflective surface 12a of the reflector 12. As an upper wall surface 12b is formed on the upper side of the reflective surface 12a, the air hole 20 is prevented from being seen through a lens 14. Moreover, an extended air-hole forming portion 22 for use in forming a substantially L-shaped air hole which is bent downward from the rear end portion of the air hole 20 is integrally formed with the reflector 12, whereby a rubber tube that has heretofore been employed can be dispensed with to ensure that the lamp cost is made reducible. Furthermore, an annular rib 24 surrounding the opening 22a of the extended air-hole forming portion 22 is formed on the back of the reflector 12 and the upper end wall portion 24a of the annular rib 24 is formed in such a manner as to cross the extended air-hole forming portion 22, which has the effect of preventing waterdrops and the like flowing down on the surface of the extended air-hole forming portion 22 from penetrating through the air hole 20.
