PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a meter panel for a vehicle equipped with an optical waveguide for efficiently illuminating a scale mark part by setting the directionality of light so that it is directed toward the mark part of a meter display board, the light outputted from a light emission part with an LED used as a light source. SOLUTION: This meter panel 21 for a vehicle is equipped with the meter display board 22 with the scale mark part 36 formed on a peripheral part thereof, the optical waveguide 23 disposed on the back side of the display board 22, and the light emission part 24 disposed on an end part of the optical waveguide 23. The optical waveguide 23 is provided with a recessed part 30 in its end part for therein housing the emission part 24. By forming side face parts 23b and 23c into paraboloidal shapes centering around the recessed part 30, the light outputted from the LED 24a provided in the light emission part 24 is caused to illuminate the mark part 36 from an inner circumferential surface of the recessed part 30.
