Abstract
A vehicle lighting unit can distribute light in a wider area than the conventional lighting unit without increasing the number of parts. The vehicle lighting unit can include: a light source; a light guiding member configured to have a side portion to receive light from the light source from the side portion and guide the light, and have an inclined face formed obliquely rearward in a light guiding path of the light; and a reflection face inclined forward and disposed to face to the inclined face with a gap between the reflection face and the inclined face of the light guiding member.
