A vehicle light apparatus which serves to change a lighting range of a lamp L for illuminating a forward part of the vehicle corresponding to a steering angle of the vehicle comprises lighting range control means for turning the lighting range into an opposite direction to a current steering direction when steering is returned into a straight running direction. When a steering angular velocity is greater than a predetermined value, a lighting range for illuminating an opposite side is increased following the return of the steering into the straight running direction. A next curve or the course of an intersection road can be illuminated prior to the steering operation in a running condition on an S-shaped road or an intersection road in which right and left turns continue. Thus, the vehicle light apparatus is very effective for maintaining the safe running of the vehicle on a curved road and an intersection road.
