Abstract
In an arrangement structure, a camera mechanism is disposed above a lamp mechanism, the lamp mechanism emits light downward, and the camera mechanism captures an image rearward of the vehicle. Here, the imaging direction of the camera mechanism is oriented further upward than the light emission direction of the lamp mechanism. As a result, it is possible to suppress the influence of light from the lamp mechanism on image capture by the camera mechanism.
