Abstract:
A vehicle light, comprising:a light source; a major reflecting surface reflecting light rays from the light source forward, a projection lens for converging light rays incident thereto, a shutter located in an optical path from the light source to the projection lens for cutting off an unnecessary portion of light rays on formation of a light distribution pattern; a first reflecting surface including an ellipse group reflecting surface having a first focus approximately on the light source and a second focus at a predetermined position, and capable of being inserted in or removed from an optical path from the light source to a second fixed reflecting surface by rotation, the first reflecting surface including a first reflecting surface element; a first fixed reflecting surface including a parabolic group reflecting surface and having a focus approximately on the second focus of the first reflecting surface for reflecting light rays from the first reflecting surface to a front area of the vehicle light, the first fixed reflecting surface including at least two second reflecting surface elements; wherein the second fixed reflecting surface having a first focus approximately on the light source including at least two third reflecting surface elements for reflecting light rays forward to be incident to the projection lens, which light rays have traveled its corresponding optical path from the light source thereto without being reflected by the first reflecting surface.
