Abstract
A vehicle lamp includes a first light guide, a second light guide, a first light source, and a second light source. The first light guide includes a first portion extending in a first direction, a second portion extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a third portion shaped to be bent from the first direction to the second direction and interconnecting the first portion and the second portion. The second light guide extends along the first portion and the third portion and has a shape gradually decreasing in a cross-sectional area outside of the bend of the third portion, thereby merging with the light emitting light guide.
