(Function) The present invention overturns the conventional wisdom that the cause of solvent crank in the welded part is the quality of the lamp lens material, and discovers that the cause is both the lamp body material and the lamp lens material. This was achieved by improving both materials. In other words, solvent cracks develop in lenses, but when the cracks are observed closely, the cracks occur at the welded interface between the two materials. By using both materials, which have a higher molecular weight than the body resin material, the attraction force consisting of the physical force of the entanglement of the molecular chains of both parts and the chemical intermolecular force between the molecular chains at the welding interface is enhanced. The present invention was successfully completed.

Therefore, in the vehicle lamp of the present invention, the solvent contained in wax etc. adheres, and the pressure strain (repulsion force) at the welding interface becomes larger than the physicochemical intermolecular force (attraction force) between the lens and the body. It is thought that by increasing the suction force as described above, cracks can be prevented even if the solvent adheres because the suction force can be made larger than the repulsion force and maintained.
