(54) Vehicle illumination lamp


(57) A second light source 24 is disposed rearwards and a second reflector 26 is disposed forwards of a movable shade 18 which forms selectively a first variable luminous intensity distribution pattern and a second variable luminous intensity distribution pattern. Then, the second light source 24 and the second reflector 26 are disposed in such a positional relationship that when the movable shade 18 shifts to a light uninterruptive position, light from the second light source 24 is reflected by the second reflector 26 so as to be shone to the front of the lamp without being allowed to be incident on a projection lens 12, while when the movable shade 18 shifts to a light interruptive position, the light from the second light source 24 is interrupted by the movable shade 18 so as not to be incident on the second reflector 26.
