Abstract
A vehicle lamp fixture in which a reflector is housed in a lamp body, a transparent front lens is attached to the lamp body, and a non-transparent treatment is applied to a region near a seal leg of a front lens. The non-transparent treatment is done by forming a plurality of convex cylindrical lens elements in a striped pattern on the entire region of the outer peripheral side and on a predetermined region of the inner peripheral side of the seal leg of the rear and/or front surface of the front lens, thus preventing a gap between the reflector and the lamp body from appearing dark when viewing the lamp fixture from the front and also preventing a seal groove of the lamp body from being directly seen.
