Abstract
A vehicle lamp includes a first optical unit that irradiates light for forming a first beam pattern; a second optical unit that irradiates light for forming a second beam pattern and is disposed on one side of the first optical unit in a left-right direction; and a lens unit disposed in front of the first optical unit and the second optical unit to allow the light irradiated from at least one of the first optical unit or the second optical unit to pass through the lens unit to form at least one of the first beam pattern or the second beam pattern. The lens unit includes a first lens module corresponding to the first optical unit and a second lens module corresponding to the second optical unit, and the first lens module and the second lens module are integrally formed with one another.
