Abstract: A headlight module (100) includes a light source (1) to emit first light, a first reflecting surface (21a) to reflect partial light (R1a) as part of the first light, thereby forming light (R1b, R1c) in a first light distribution pattern having a cutoff line from light other than the partial light (R1a), and a second reflecting surface (22a) inclined with respect to an optical axis (C1) of the light source (1) so as to be farther from the optical axis (C1) as a distance from the light source along the optical axis (C1) increases.

The aberration correction surface is on the wedge prism side with respect to an emission surface of the projection optical system, and is located on the projection optical system side, with respect to the wedge prism, including an incidence surface of the wedge prism.
