A lamp for a vehicle having a metallic light shielding shade that comprises a shade body serving as a light shielding section and a leg which extends rearward from the shade body in substantially a horizontal direction so that the light shielding section supported in a cantilever manner when the rear end of the leg is inserted and secured to a leg insertion hole formed in a reflector of the lamp, wherein the leg of the light shielding shade is obtained by laminating two plate-like extending portions that have expanded portions; and holding grooves are formed in the leg insertion hole. When the expanded portions are press-fitted into the holding grooves from the front side of the reflector, the leg is inserted in the leg insertion hole, and the rear end of the extending leg is bent so as to be on the rear surface of the reflector; as a result, the leg of the light shielding shade is securely held in the leg insertion hole of the reflector. The leg is formed by laminating two plate-like extending portions so as to have a high rigidity, realizes excellent light distributing characteristics, and prevents deflection of light distribution.
A lamp for a vehicle comprising a lamp chamber provided therein with a reflector, a light source disposed in front of said reflector and a light shielding shade disposed in front of and underneath said light source, said light shielding shade comprising a shade body and a leg which are integrally formed from a thin metal plate so that said shade body serves as a light shielding section and said leg extends rearwards from said shade body in substantially a horizontal direction and so that a rear end of said leg is inserted and secured to a leg insertion hole which is formed in said reflector and extends in a longitudinal direction of said reflector, and said light shielding shade is supported in a cantilever manner, said lamp being characterized in that:
