Abstract
The present disclosure provides a vehicular lamp system in which modification or addition of functions of a lamp may be performed even after a vehicle is purchased. The vehicular lamp system includes a lamp unit; a vehicle storage unit configured to store first identification information; a communication unit configured to communicate with an external storage unit which stores second identification information corresponding to the first identification information, and function information associated with the second identification information and related to a user's selected function of the lamp unit; and a control unit configured to control an operation of the lamp unit. The communication unit acquires the function information associated with the second identification information corresponding to the first identification information from the external storage unit, and the control unit operates the lamp unit based on the function information to execute a specific function.
