Abstract
A vehicle lamp includes a lighting unit, a lens, an optical transparent member and a light directing unit. The lens is disposed in front of the lighting unit for radiating forwardly light rays received from the lighting unit. The optical transparent member protrudes sidewardly from one side of the lens. The light directing unit is disposed between the lighting unit and the optical transparent member for forwardly directing part of light rays emitted from the lighting unit to the optical transparent member. The optical transparent member radiates forwardly the light rays received from the light directing unit, whereby a light emitting area of the vehicle lamp is increased.
