Vehicle lighting device

Abstract

A vehicle lighting device is provided which is capable of merely changing a shade, thereby using a first reflector and a second reflector as they are, to cope with a variety of light distribution pattern specifications, and which is capable of avoiding deformation of a shade due to a thermal effect even if incidence of sunlight going back has optically focused on the shade. In a heat sink member 40, there are arranged: a semiconductor-type light source 10; a first reflector 21 covering the semiconductor-type light source 10 therewith; a second reflector 22 for causing the reflected light from the first reflector 21so as to be made incident thereto and then reflecting the incident light forward of the lighting device; and a shade 30 for shading a part of the reflected light from the first reflector 21 so as to be made incident to the second reflector 22. The shade 30 is configured as another member independent of the first and second reflectors 21, 22, and is arranged in the heat sink 40.
