The vehicle headlights mounted on such saddle-type vehicles have a low beam light source and a high beam light source inside a lamp body composed of a housing having an open front surface and a lens cover covering the opening of the housing. And a reflector are arranged, and the light emitted from each light source is reflected by the reflector and irradiated toward the front of the vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).
