A vehicle headlamp comprising: a projection lens disposed on an optical axis extending in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle; a light source disposed on the rear side behind the rear-side focal point of the projection lens, and formed as a line light source extending in an axial direction of a light source bulb; a reflector for reflecting light from the light source forward and closer to the optical axis, wherein the light source is fixedly inserted into the reflector from the lateral side of the optical axis; a shade, disposed so that the upper end edge of the shade is positioned close to the optical axis in the vicinity of the rear-side focal point, for partially shielding the light reflected from the reflector; a first additional reflector, disposed between the light source bulb and the shade, for reflecting light from the light source to an area in front in the direction of inserting the light source bulb on the reflective surface of the reflector; and a second additional reflector, formed on the area in front in the direction of inserting the light source bulb, for reflecting the light reflected from the first additional reflector forward and closer to the optical axis; wherein the light source bulb is fixedly inserted into the reflector in a lower position separated from the optical axis.
