Abstract:
A vehicle light installed in a vehicle includes: a main case having a front opening; a first light guide disposed in the main case; a first light source that emits light into the first light guide; and a headlamp disposed in the main case. The first light guide (i) is rod-shaped, (ii) includes a first extended section extending from the inboard side of the first light guide relative to the vehicle widthwise direction toward the outboard side and a second extended section that continues from the first extended section, curves back inwardly, and extends to the inboard side, and (iii) opens toward a longitudinal center line of the vehicle. The headlamp is disposed between the first extended section and the second extended section. The first extended section and the second extended section extend toward the longitudinal center line of the vehicle to a point beyond the headlamp.
