  • Patent number: 10352520
    Abstract: A vehicle lighting fixture can effectively utilize an inner space of a lighting chamber defined by a housing and an outer lens for the formation of an optical path, so that the light can be projected through the entire surface region of the outer lens. A reflector can extend forward and obliquely downward and can be arranged below a mounting substrate on which LEDs are mounted. An extension can be arranged in front of an LED substrate holder and the reflector. The extension can have a mirror-finished reflecting rear surface, and include a window hole portion positioned in front of the reflector, a curved portion configured to extend from an upper edge portion of the window hole portion upward and obliquely forward, and an annular flange portion configured to extend from respective outer rim portions of the window hole portion and the curved portion rearward.
