Patent ID: 7232247

Claim:
A vehicle lamp comprising: a primary light source module having an LED as a light source and a primary light source optical axis along which the LED emits light; and a primary optical system for distributing light from the primary light source module frontward and toward a primary predetermined area, the primary optical system including a primary optical system optical axis along which light is directed from the primary optical system, a primary reflector configured to direct light frontward along the primary optical system optical axis, a primary projector lens whose optical axis is located along the primary optical system optical axis, and a primary shading member located substantially at the focus of the primary projector lens to form a cut off of a light distribution pattern to be produced by the vehicle lamp, wherein the primary light source optical axis is inclined relative to the primary optical system optical axis at an angle different from 90 degrees, and the primary shading member is an elongate substantially planar member located substantially within a plane that is substantially parallel with the primary optical system optical axis.
