Vehicle lighting unit

A vehicle lighting unit for emitting light in a front direction, the vehicle lighting unit comprising:

• a light source mounted on a substrate;
• and
• an elongated light guide configured to receive light emitted from the light source and guide the light along a lengthwise direction of the light guide so as to emit light from a front surface of the light guide,
• the light guide having a first light guiding section and a second light guiding section that extend in a first direction and a second direction, respectively, and a bending section between the first and second light guiding sections, the first direction and the second direction crossing each other when viewed from a front side of the vehicle lighting unit so that the light guide bends at the bending section, wherein
• the bending section includes a first reflection surface and a second reflection surface, the first reflection surface configured to internally reflect light from the light source toward the first light guiding section substantially in the first direction, the second reflection surface configured to internally reflect the light from the light source toward the second light guiding section substantially in the second direction,
• the light source includes a first light source and a second light source, the first light source being disposed at a rear of the first reflection surface of the bending section while facing forward, and the second light source being disposed at a rear of the second reflection surface of the bending section while facing forward.
