Vehicle headlamp

A vehicle headlamp includes a projector-type lamp unit that performs two types of light distribution. The lamp unit is configured with a projection lens disposed on an optical axis Ax extending in an longitudinal direction of a vehicle, and a first light-source unit and a second light-source unit, both disposed to the rear of the projection lens. A low-beam light distribution pattern having sharp cut-off lines at an upper end portion is formed upon illumination of the first light-source unit. An additional high-beam light distribution pattern spreading upward from the cut-off lines is additionally formed upon illumination of the second light-source unit. Accordingly, a high-beam light distribution pattern is formed.

Vehicle lamp and method of use

A lamp can include LED lamps as a light source. An optical guide path including a first reflecting surface and a second reflecting surface can be provided between the LED lamp and a lens that radiates an illumination light. The optical guide path can be integrally composed of a high-refractivity material. Thus, the light passing through the optical guide path can more efficiently reach the lens. In addition, the integral optical guide path requires less assembly and thus can improve accuracy of assembly and can possibly result in a large gain in the amount of light emitted from the lamp.
