するコイル状ケーブル23が導出されている。The flexible pipe 9 is housed in an outer cylinder 20 housed in the roof rail 2 as shown in FIG.
The inner peripheral surface is rotatably and slidably held by spring-biased balls 21 which are attached to the inner peripheral surface by a plurality of members intermittently in the front-rear direction. The end 20a functions as a stopper that restrains the flange 14 provided at the end of the flexible pipe 9. From the flexible pipe 9, a coil-shaped cable 23 connected to a bulb attached to the lamp housing 11 is led out.

る。In a normal state, the flexible pipe 9 is held by the ball 21, and the lamp 10 is seated on the shallow concave anchor portion 2a. When it is turned on in a narrow parking lot, a garage, or the like, particularly the side is illuminated from the front and rear ends of the roof rail 2. For example, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, when it is desired to illuminate the rear of the normal position, the lamp 10 is manually pulled out, and the rotational position is further adjusted to an area to be confirmed. Can be. At this time, a wide range can be illuminated through the lens on the top surface or the end surface. The illumination area can be further adjusted by bending the flexible pipe 9 along the body line.
