A vehicular lamp which employs one or more projector lamp units and which is capable of preventing a reflector from being deformed by weight-induced strain while achieving and maintaining required light distribution characteristics. In one embodiment, the vehicular lamp includes first and second lamp units provided with respective reflectors, light sources, and projection lenses, with each lamp unit being tiltably supported on a lamp body via brackets formed separately at least from the reflectors. The brackets are tiltably supported at fulcrums the lamp body. Even in a case where stresses resulting from the weights of the lamp units are applied to bearings to the fulcrums, the stresses can be attenuated or absorbed by the brackets and the reflectors of the lamp units are not strained. Thus, the reflectors are prevented from being deformed, and the lamp units can achieve desired light distribution characteristics.
