Abstract
A vehicular lamp having first and second light source units disposed behind a projection lens is provided. In the second light source unit, light from a second light source disposed at a position lying further downward than the position of an optical axis of the projection lens is reflected toward the projection lens by a reflection surface of a second reflector disposed to extend downward from a front end edge of a shade. In this case, an upper area of the projection lens is configured such that light from a rear focus of the upper area of the projection lens is emitted further downward than emission light from a general area other than the upper area.
