When a power supply voltage is supplied to an input terminal, a first constant current driver supplies a first driving current to the anode of a first semiconductor light source. A first switch is provided between the first semiconductor light source and a second semiconductor light source, and a second switch between the first semiconductor light source and a third semiconductor light source. When a switching terminal has a high impedance or low level, a switching circuit turns the first switch on and the second switch off. When a switching voltage is supplied to the switching terminal, the switching circuit turns the first switch off and the second switch on, and supplies a second driving voltage smaller than the first driving current to the second semiconductor light source.
