Vehicular lighting
The objective of the invention is to provide vehicular lighting such that unevenness in the light distribution occurring on a road surface is minimized upon consideration of workability when performing an adjustment by aiming, or the like. This vehicular lighting forms a light distribution having a cut-off line CL, and comprises a light source (30) and a lens (50) disposed on the forward side of the light source (30). The entry surface (51) of the lens (50) wherefrom light from the light source (30) enters comprises: an upper side entry surface (54) on an upper side from the center of the entry surface (51), wherein first light diffusing portions (54a) for diffusing the light are disposed; a lower side entry surface (56) on a lower side from the center of the entry surface (51), wherein second light diffusing portions (56) for diffusing the light are disposed; and a middle entry surface (55) including the center of the entry surface, wherein third light diffusing portions (55b) and fourth light diffusing portions (55a) for diffusing the light are disposed, and having straight-through portions (55c) wherein no third light diffusing portions (55b) and no fourth light diffusing portions (55a) are disposed. The light diffusion width for each of the third light diffusing portions (55b) is larger than the light diffusion width for each of the fourth light diffusing portions (55a).

HEADLIGHT MODULE AND HEADLIGHT DEVICE
A headlight module for projecting a light distribution pattern includes: a light source for emitting light; and an optical element including a first reflecting surface for reflecting the light as first reflected light, a second reflecting surface for reflecting, as second reflected light, light passing through a traveling direction side of an edge portion of the first reflecting surface, a first emitting surface for emitting the first reflected light, and a second emitting surface for emitting the second reflected light, the traveling direction side being a side toward which the first reflected light travels. The edge portion is an edge portion on the traveling direction side. The first reflecting surface forms a high luminous intensity region of the light distribution pattern by superposing the first reflected light and light that has not been reflected by the first reflecting surface, and forms a cutoff line of the light distribution pattern.
