Claim Text:
1. A vehicular headlamp comprising: an outer lamp casing that includes a lamp housing and a cover, the lamp housing having an opening, the cover closing the opening of the lamp housing; a bracket including an actuator attaching portion that has a first fixation portion and a second fixation portion and part of which is a cuttable portion, the bracket being supported, within the outer lamp casing, by the lamp housing so as to be tiltable in a predetermined direction via an aiming adjustment mechanism; a first leveling actuator that is attached, within the outer lamp casing, to the actuator attaching portion from one direction and is fixed via the first fixation portion; and a lamp unit that is supported, within the outer lamp casing, by the bracket so as to be tiltable in a predetermined direction, and to which the first leveling actuator is linked,the lamp unit being capable of being tilted relative to the bracket by drive force of the first leveling actuator, wherein the actuator attaching portion is configured so that the cuttable portion can be cut off to detach the first leveling actuator from the bracket in another direction than the one direction and a second leveling actuator can be attached to the actuator attaching portion from the another direction and fixed to the actuator attaching portion via the second fixture portion, wherein: the first fixation portion is formed in a plate shape so as to be elastically deformed, and a proximal end portion of the first fixation portion is continuous to an inner surface of a side portion of the actuator attaching portion, and the first fixation portion is inclined so as to become apart from the inner surface with increase in distance from the base end portion in a direction of distal end portion of the first fixation portion, the distal end being located to a direction of the base end portion that is a direction in which the first leveling actuator is moved when the first actuator is attached from the one direction; a side surface of the first leveling actuator has a fixing protrusion; and the first leveling actuator is fixed to the actuator attaching portion by the first fixation portion being engaged with a tip of the fixing protrusion.
