Vehicle headlamp

A vehicle headlamp employing a semiconductor-type light source as a light source, said headlamp comprising:

• the semiconductor-type light source having a light emitting chip;
• a reflector having a reflection surface configured to reflect light from the light emitting chip and to then emit the reflected light forward of a vehicle as a predetermined light distribution pattern;
• a holding member configured to hold the reflector and on which the semiconductor-type light source is disposed;
• a mount member that mounts the semiconductor-type light source on the holding member, the mount member being arranged above the holding member;
• and
• an optical member configured to optically process light directly radiated from the light emitting chip forward of the vehicle, the optical member being configured to shade a part of the light directly radiated, and the optical member being arranged above the mount member, wherein:
• the mount member and the optical member form an integrated structure such that the entire optical member is directly arranged above the mount member,
• the vehicle headlamp further comprises a fixing portion that fixes the mount member forming the integrated structure with the optical member to a surface of the holding member on which the semiconductor-type light source is disposed,
• the entire optical member is arranged above the holding member, and
• the semiconductor-type light source is mounted to the holding member via the mount member by fixing the mount member to the holding member with the fixing portion.
