Abstract: A vehicle light apparatus includes: a power consuming portion provided in parallel with a group of light emitting elements for causing a total power value including power consumed by the lamp to become a normal power value, a breakage detecting portion for detecting a breakage with respect to the group of light emitting elements, and a control portion for controlling power supply to the group of light emitting elements, wherein in the event that a breakage of the group of light emitting elements is detected by the breakage detecting portion, a power supply to the lamp including the group of broken light emitting elements is stopped or power supplied to the lamp is reduced by the control portion. By providing the power consuming portion, the load characteristic can be made constant, and power consumption can be reduced when a breakage of the light emitting element is detected.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to offer a headlamp cleaning device which is always capable of attaining a constant cleaning capacity by keeping the ejected quantity of the cleaning fluid constant for a single cleaning operation without any regard to the fluctuations in the voltage of the electric power in the power source.The headlamp cleaning device according to the present invention is provided with an electric power source voltage monitoring means which monitors the power source voltage as applied to a cleaning device motor. This device furnishes the power source voltage to the electric power supply time setting means. When a cleaning device switch 9 is turned ON, the electric power supply time setting means 10-2 sets the driving time T to a longer time period when the value of the electric power source voltage is low, but sets the driving time T to a shorter period when the value of the electric power source voltage is high.
