An LED vehicle lighting apparatus including a fail-safe function can supply a plurality of LEDs connected in series with a requisite voltage that is larger than a supply voltage of a battery. The vehicle lighting apparatus can include a DC-DC convertor and a subsidiary feed circuit. The DC-DC convertor can be configured to supply the LEDs with a substantially constant current by a controller. At least one output of the subsidiary feed circuit is connected to an LED in the LEDs, and a switching element can also be connected between the LED and ground. When the controller has a breakdown or trouble, LEDs between the LED and ground can be directly lighted by the battery in accordance with a signal provided by the controller. Thus, the disclosed subject matter can provide various LED lighting apparatuses including a user friendly fail-safe function. |
