Abstract:
A vehicle lamp includes a light source mounted on a vehicle body and a light guide body for guiding light generated by the light source. On the light guide body, vertically to a light travelling direction, a plurality of notch-shaped portions are formed in line. The notch-shaped portions become narrow in pitch as the distance from the light source increases and are formed deeper as the distance from the light source increases. Preferably, the notch-shaped portions exhibit arc cross-sections having the same curvature radius, and the depths of the notch-shaped portions are specified by the central angles of the arc cross-sections.
