Vehicle lighting unit

摘要

A vehicle lighting unit is provided with: a projection lens (24) arranged on a lens center axis extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle; a light source (22) arranged on a rear side of a rear focal point of the projection lens; a reflector (26) for reflecting forward a light from the light source toward the lens center axis; and a shade (21). An upper end edge of the shade passes in a vicinity of the rear focal point of the projection lens to shield a part of a reflected light from the reflector. An optical axis of the reflector is shifted from the lens center axis that is set to pass through an upper end edge of the shade so that the optical axis of the reflector is apart from the upper end edge.
