A vehicle headlamp apparatus (30, 230) comprising: right and left lamp units disposed away from each other in a vehicle width direction, each of the lamp units being operable to form at least a low beam light distribution pattern (LoR, LoL) and a high beam light distribution pattern (FL, FR, HiR, HiL); a vehicle detecting section configured to detect a condition of a vehicle ahead of a vehicle (100, 200) on which the vehicle headlamp apparatus (30, 230) is mounted; a pattern determining section configured to determine a light distribution pattern based on the condition of the vehicle ahead; a pattern control section configured to control the lamp units to form the light distribution pattern determined by the pattern determining section; a curve judging section configured to judge whether a road on which the vehicle (100, 200) is traveling is curved; and a pattern restricting section (88, 188) configured to restrict, when the curve judging section judges that the road is curved, a selection of the high beam light distribution pattern (FL, FR, HiR, HiL) in at least one of the lamp units, regardless of the light distribution pattern determined by the pattern determining section, characterised by when the radially inner side of the curve is on a side of a traveling lane of the road, the pattern restricting section (88, 188) instructs the pattern control section to form the low beam light distribution pattern (LoC) with the right and left lamp units, and wherein, when the radially inner side of the curve is on a side of the opposing lane of the road, the pattern restricting section (88, 188) instructs the pattern control section to form the low beam light distribution pattern (LoR, LoL) with the lamp unit that is disposed closer to the radially inner side of the curve. right and left lamp units disposed away from each other in a vehicle width direction, each of the lamp units being operable to form at least a low beam light distribution pattern (LoR, LoL) and a high beam light distribution pattern (FL, FR, HiR, HiL); a vehicle detecting section configured to detect a condition of a vehicle ahead of a vehicle (100, 200) on which the vehicle headlamp apparatus (30, 230) is mounted; a pattern determining section configured to determine a light distribution pattern based on the condition of the vehicle ahead; a pattern control section configured to control the lamp units to form the light distribution pattern determined by the pattern determining section; a curve judging section configured to judge whether a road on which the vehicle (100, 200) is traveling is curved; and a pattern restricting section (88, 188) configured to restrict, when the curve judging section judges that the road is curved, a selection of the high beam light distribution pattern (FL, FR, HiR, HiL) in at least one of the lamp units, regardless of the light distribution pattern determined by the pattern determining section, characterised by when the radially inner side of the curve is on a side of a traveling lane of the road, the pattern restricting section (88, 188) instructs the pattern control section to form the low beam light distribution pattern (LoC) with the right and left lamp units, and wherein, when the radially inner side of the curve is on a side of the opposing lane of the road, the pattern restricting section (88, 188) instructs the pattern control section to form the low beam light distribution pattern (LoR, LoL) with the lamp unit that is disposed closer to the radially inner side of the curve.
