Abstract (en)
A vehicle headlight (10) with a simple configuration is provided which can suppress or prevent the generation of any glare light occurring due to the reflection by a second reflecting surface (13) provided near the lower area of a first reflecting surface (12). The vehicle headlight (10) includes a light source (11), a first reflecting surface (12) disposed behind the light source (11) so as to reflect light from the light source (11) to an illumination direction, the first reflecting surface (12) having a focus (F) at or near the position of the light source (11) and a center axis (O) along the illumination direction and being concave toward the illumination direction; and a second reflecting surface (13, 13a) extending at least adjacent to an edge of the first reflecting surface (12). At least part of the second reflecting surface (13, 13a) is inclined in right and left directions so as to reflect and diffuse light (L2), that is emitted from the light source (11) frontward and downward and incident thereon, in right and left directions to the outside.
