Abstract

A lamp unit (210) includes: a projection lens (20) that radiates light from a light source (14); and a shade (110,120,130) interposed between the light source and the projection lens and for forming a light distribution pattern having a first cutoff line extending horizontally from a neighborhood of a center of the light distribution pattern and a second cutoff line extending upwardly from the neighborhood of the center. The shade includes a gradation forming portion for forming a gradation in the second cutoff line in the second cutoff line forming edge portion. The gradation is for making variations gradual in illumination in the portion of the second cutoff line than that in an area of the neighborhood of the center.
