Abstract (en)
A vehicle lamp (10, 50, 60) includes a light source unit (17) and a light control member (18, 31, 33, 36, 39, 52, 68). The light source unit (17) includes a semiconductor light emitting device (15), an electronic component (16) which controls the semiconductor light emitting device (15), and a bus bar assembly (14) having a plurality of bus bars (19, 20) to which the semiconductor light emitting device (15) and the electronic component (16) are mounted to form a circuit. The light control member (18, 31, 33, 36, 39, 52, 68) is arranged directly in front of the light source unit (17) to control a light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting device (15). The light control member (18, 31, 33, 36, 39, 52, 68) has a fixing means (27, 54) for fixing the bus bar assembly (14) to the light control member (18, 31, 33, 36, 39, 52, 68) such that the light source unit (17) is held by the light control member (18, 31, 33, 36, 39, 52, 68). A resin base for supporting the bus bars or a circuit board for mounting the electronic components is not necessary. Accordingly, the number of components of the vehicle lamp (10, 50, 60) can be reduced.
