Abstract

A vehicular lamp includes a light source (1); a main reflector (2) that reflects light radiated from the light source (1); a shade (3) that blocks a portion of light condensed by the main reflector (2); a lens (4) that irradiates light not blocked by the shade (3); and a sub reflector (5) that is provided so as to cover the main reflector (2). The main reflector (2) is configured as divided into a first reflector portion (21), and a second reflector portion (22) that can be moved from a normal position to a different position by moving means (6). When the second reflector portion (22) is moved, light not reflected by the second reflector portion (22) is reflected and irradiated by the sub reflector (5).
