Abstract
A vehicle lamp device for use as a combination clearance and side-marker lamp in which coloration of a clear clearance lens by light reflected from the colored marker lens is inhibited. The lamp device includes a lamp body, a clearance lens covering the lamp body, a marker lens covering an outside opening portion of the lamp body with the marker lens being connected at one end to the clearance lens and colored in a predetermined color such as amber, a bulb disposed inside the lamp device body, and a reflection surface for reflecting light reflected from the marker lens again toward the marker lens formed on an inner surface of a side wall opposed to the outside opening portion of the lamp device body. Also, front and rear surfaces of a lens attaching portion formed on the side surface of the clearance lens may be made light diffusing.
