Abstract
A headlight device for a saddled vehicle includes an LED light source and a mechanism which enlarges an illumination range upward in a turning direction at the time of turning traveling. The mechanism includes, at a position on an outer side, in the vehicle width direction, of a high-beam reflector that reflects forward emitted light from a high-beam, an outer reflection section that reflects the emitted light further upward than the direction of emission of the high-beam reflector. The outer reflection section is provided on at least one of left and right high-beam reflectors, and is configured to be covered by an extension serving as a decorative part, in front view of the vehicle body.

- a decorative part that covers part of the reflectors,
- wherein an outer reflection section that reflects the emitted light further upward than a direction of emission of the reflectors is provided at a position on an outer side, in regard of a vehicle width direction, of the reflectors,
- a low-beam portion that emits a low beam with an illumination range restricted so as not to dazzle a person facing the vehicle with the emitted light, and a high-beam portion that emits a high beam with an unrestricted illumination range are provided,
- the light source and the reflectors are each for the high beam,
- the high-beam portion has a plurality of the light sources,
- the outer reflection section is provided on the reflector that reflects emitted light from the light source located on an outer side in regard of the vehicle width direction,
