Abstract

A low-beam primary optical element for a vehicle lamp, a vehicle lamp module comprising the low-beam primary optical element, a vehicle lamp, and a vehicle. The low-beam primary optical element comprises light entrance portion, a light passage portion and a light exit portion which are sequentially arranged from back to front. The light exit portion comprises a main light exit surface and a second light exit surface connected to the main light exit surface. A low-beam cutoff line structure is provided at the secondary light exit surface. The secondary light exit surface is configured to refract light emitted to the low-beam cutoff line structure forward and upward. The low-beam primary optical element has a simple structure, and can effectively improve the color of a low-beam light-dark cutoff line and mitigate color dispersion.
