A cord 22 for connecting the lighting circuit 23 and the discharge bulb 7 is short, and the weight balance of the headlight as a whole is stabilized even if the lighting circuit 23 is relatively heavy. Light projected from the discharge bulb 7 expands horizontally toward the auxiliary lamp CL and the main-beam lamp HL, so that the headlight is illuminated as a whole, which in turn improves the external appearance of the headlight. | |
