Claim:
A vehicle light comprising: a light source; a projector type unit including, a projector ellipse group reflecting portion having a first focus located substantially at the light source, and a second focus, a projection lens having a focus located substantially at the second focus of the projector ellipse group reflecting portion, and a shielding plate configured to shield light from the light source to form a low-beam light distribution, the projector type unit configured to direct light from the light source to the projection lens to emit light therefrom; and an ellipse-parabola combined unit configured to emit light from the light source, including, at least one light-collecting ellipse group reflecting portion and a projector parabolic group reflecting portion, the light-collecting ellipse group reflecting portion having a first focus located substantially at the light source and a second focus, the projector parabolic group reflecting portion having a focus located substantially at the second focus of the light-collecting ellipse group reflecting portion, wherein a light outlet opening is provided in the light-collecting ellipse group reflecting portion such that light reflected by the light-collecting ellipse group reflecting portion passes through the outlet opening and toward the projector parabolic group reflecting portion, and a projection mirror holder configured to allow the projector parabolic group reflecting portion to direct the light from the light outlet opening in a direction of illumination, wherein the projector ellipse group reflecting portion and the light-collecting ellipse group reflecting portion constitute an internal mirror assembly enclosingly surrounding the light source.
