Vehicular headlamp

摘要

A vehicular headlamp (1) has a projection lens (11), a light source (12) disposed behind a rear focal point (F2) of the projection lens, and a reflector (13) that reflects light from the light source (12) forward. The vehicular headlamp (1) forms a forward light distribution pattern. The vehicular headlamp (1) includes a plate-like shade (15) having a front-end portion positioned in the vicinity of the rear focal point (F2) of the projection lens to form a cut-off line of the forward light distribution pattern. The shade (15) extends rearward and obliquely downward from the front-end portion. An overhead sign reflective surface (15c) is provided on a lower surface of the shade (15). The overhead sign reflective surface (15c) reflects light from the reflector (13) toward the projection lens (11) to form a part of an overhead sign distribution pattern. A dark portion forming portion (15d) is formed on the overhead sign reflective surface (15c).
