Abstract
Provided is a vehicular lamp capable of being expected to improve design quality while preventing an increase in costs. In a vehicular lamp including a light source and an outer lens that transmits and reflects light emitted from the light source, the outer lens includes a first outer lens surface that extends in an up-down direction of the vehicular lamp, and a second outer lens surface that extends in a front-rear direction of the vehicular lamp; the second outer lens surface is located above the light source and the first outer lens surface, and is located either in front of or behind the light source and the first outer lens surface; and the second outer lens surface is provided in a step shape.
Claims6
A vehicular lamp comprising:
- a light source;
- and
- an outer lens that transmits and reflects light emitted from the light source,
- the vehicular lamp further comprising an inner lens that is covered by the outer lens and guides the light from the light source in a predetermined direction, wherein
- the outer lens includes
- a first outer lens surface that extends in an up-down direction of the vehicular lamp, and
- a second outer lens surface that extends in a front-rear direction of the vehicular lamp,
- the second outer lens surface is located on an upper side relative to the light source and the first outer lens surface, and is located on a rear side relative to the light source and the first outer lens surface,
- the second outer lens surface is provided as a whole in a step shape in which step portions and extension portions are alternately formed so as to be directed upward as going rearward from a front end to a rear end, each of the step portions having a planar shape extending in the up-down direction, each of the extension portions-having a planar shape extending in the front-rear direction, and one end of the step shape is continuous with an upper end of the first outer lens surface, and
- at least some of the light from the light source is reflected downward of the vehicular lamp at the extension portions after passing through the first outer lens surface.
