Vehicle headlamp

A vehicle headlamp comprising:

• a light source bulb;
• a reflector having a reflective surface for reflecting light forward from the light source bulb;
• a shade for shielding the forwardly directed light from the light source bulb, the shade including a shielding cap and a fitting stay extending from the shielding cap and fixed to the reflector;
• a fitting-stay fixing portion of the reflector provided at a back portion of the reflective surface and including a fitting stay inserting hole, wherein the fitting stay is inserted in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bulb's optical axis into the fitting stay inserting hole,
• wherein a reflective region positioned at a front portion of the fitting-stay fixing portion of the reflective surface is formed so as to project forward relative to reflective regions adjacent to the reflective region at the front of the fitting-stay fixing portion;
• and
• wherein said reflective surface comprises a plurality of reflective elements which are divided segments having predetermined shapes, in which the reflective region at the front of said fixing portion is substantially similar in shape to each of the segments of the reflective elements forming the reflective regions adjacent to the reflective region at the front of said fixing portion.
