Patent ID: 7008094

Claim:
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 that are incident thereto; a shutter located in a light passageway 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 located at a side of the major reflecting surface for reflecting light rays from the light source to a front area; a second reflecting surface including an ellipse group reflecting surface having a first focus approximately on the light source and a second focus, the second reflecting surface capable of being inserted in and removed from an optical path from the light source to the first reflecting surface by rotation; and a third reflecting surface including a first element having a focus substantially on the second focus of the second reflecting surface; wherein the first element reflects light rays from the second reflecting surface in a side direction in front of the vehicle light when the second reflecting surface is inserted at least partly in the optical path.
