Claim:
1. A headlamp assembly for a saddle-type vehicle, said headlamp assembly comprising: left and right light-emitting portions arranged on left and right sides, respectively, each of the light-emitting portions comprising a light source and a concave reflector disposed proximate the light source for reflecting light forwardly, each reflector having an inclined surface, and having an upper surface and a rear surface, the inclined surface being configured such that the rear surfaces of the reflectors extend in directions separating from each other as the reflectors extend rearwardly, and two heat sinks each having an L-shape cover the upper surface and rear surfaces, respectively, of the reflectors; a housing which supports the light emitting portions while covering the light emitting portions from behind; and a lens which covers a front side of the light emitting portions while allowing light to pass therethrough; wherein a driver for driving the light sources of the left and right light-emitting portions is arranged behind and between the left and right reflectors, said driver having power lines to connect the driver to the light-emitting portions; wherein the driver is supported on an outer side of a rear surface wall of the housing and is arranged in a recessed, forwardly indented portion which is formed in the rear surface wall of the housing, and wherein the rear surface wall of the housing bulges in a rearwardly projecting manner to form spaces behind the heat sinks whereby air around the heat sinks forms convection flows, wherein the power lines are shortened due to the placement of the driver and the headlamp assembly is compact due to the structure of the headlamp assembly.
