Vehicular headlamp having improved long-distance visibility

摘要

A vehicular headlamp having enhanced long-distance visibility in right and left diffused-beam areas without dazzling drivers of oncoming vehicles. A vehicular headlamp of the invention includes a light source, a reflector for radiating light emitted from the light source forwards, and a cover lens for covering an area in front of the reflector and the light source, wherein the light distribution pattern of the low beam emitted by the vehicular headlamp has a horizontal cut line at least on the side of the opposite lane and wherein a long-distance visibility enhancing portion extending above the horizontal cut line of the light distribution pattern is formed at an end portion of the horizontal cut line.
