Abstract:
1. A vehicular lamp used in a vehicle, comprising: a semiconductor light emitting element for producing light; a sealing member, formed of a material through which said light passes, for sealing said semiconductor light emitting element, said sealing member having a certain refractive index; a fixing member for fixing said semiconductor light emitting element by aligning an apparent position of one side of said semiconductor light emitting element when viewed through said sealing member on a reference position for positioning said semiconductor light emitting element when attached; and a lens for forming at least a part of a cut line, which determines a boundary between bright and dark of a light distribution pattern of said vehicular lamp, by projecting a shape of said one side of said semiconductor light emitting element out of said vehicular lamp, wherein said fixing member fixes said semiconductor light emitting element by fitting said apparent position of said one side into said reference position predetermined within a horizontal plane which includes a light axis of said vehicular lamp.
