  • Publication number: 20120155106
    Abstract: A vehicular lamp in which a weld surface of a weld portion provided on a translucent cover is pressed against a surface to be welded that is formed on a lamp housing, and the translucent cover and the lamp housing are welded by a laser light irradiated from a welding head on the weld portion. The welding head is moved, during the method of making the lamp, along the weld surface, and the angle of the welding head while moving is varied depending on the orientation of the weld surface so that the orientation angle variation amount of the weld surface is set to be equal to or less than 0.5 deg/mm for areas which are adjacent in the moving direction of the welding head.
