Claim:
A vehicular lamp comprising: a light-emitting element that is arranged to face forward with respect to the lamp so that an optical axis extends in a front-rear direction of the lamp; and a translucent member that is arranged so as to cover the light-emitting element from a front side of the light-emitting element, wherein the translucent member has a horizontally oblong shape in a front view of the lamp, and the translucent member includes a direct light control portion that is located near the optical axis in the translucent member and that is configured to directly emit light, which enters the translucent member from the light-emitting element, forward from a front surface of the translucent member; reflected light control portions that are respectively located on both right and left sides of the direct light control portion in the translucent member and that is configured to internally reflect light, which enters the translucent member from the light-emitting element, on a rear surface of the translucent member to form substantially parallel rays of light directed forward and then to emit the light forward from the front surface of the translucent member; and a light incident area that is formed of a curved surface on the rear surface of the translucent member so as to allow light, which enters from the light-emitting element, to enter the translucent member in the form of substantially parallel rays of light with respect to a cross section that is parallel to the optical axis and parallel to a longitudinal direction of the translucent member in the direction perpendicular to the cross section.
