Abstract: Provided is a vehicle headlight for forming a high-beam additional light distribution pattern overlaid on a high-beam light distribution pattern. The vehicle headlight is capable of making a driver feel the sense of turning-on of the headlight when the high-beam additional light distribution pattern is additionally formed. The vehicle lighting fixture can be configured to further form a turning-on perceptible light distribution pattern for causing a driver to feel a sense of turning-on together with the high-beam additional light distribution pattern.

Abstract: A vehicle headlight system can include a headlight controller and a lamp unit incorporating a high beam module, which can emit favorable marking lights while the headlight controller associates each of a shading driver and a swivel structure with a shading width setter and a swivel setter, respectively. When a forward vehicle does not exist in a forward direction, the headlight systems can provide favorable light distribution patterns by overlapping the light distribution pattern projected from the high beam module with each of light distribution patterns for a high and low beam. When the forward vehicle exists, the headlight system can prevent the lamp unit from emitting a glare type light to the forward vehicle. Thus, the disclosed subject matter can provide vehicle headlight systems, which can emit favorable light patterns toward a pedestrian as a marking light, and which can provide favorable light distribution patterns to drive at night.

Abstract: A vehicle light can include a bulb, a projector lens disposed in front of the bulb and having a focus located in between the bulb and the projector lens. A first reflecting surface can be disposed behind the projector lens, for reflecting light beams emitted from the bulb toward the projector lens so that the light beams are converged at or near the focus of the projector lens. A shade can be configured to shield part of the light beams directed from the first reflecting surface to the projector lens. A second reflecting surface can be disposed on a rear surface of the shade, for reflecting downward part of the reflected light beams directed from the first reflecting surface to the projector lens. A third reflecting surface can be disposed below the shade, for reflecting the light beams from the second reflecting surface to an outside area below the projector lens to project the light beams forward.
