To provide lighting equipment for a vehicle which can illuminate planarly without increasing the number of components and cost.
Because an interior material 24 for the vehicle is formed by a transparent or semi-translucent resin which has translucency and a light source 25 is arranged to face at least one end face 241 of the resin, light from the light source 25 is transmitted for planar light emission with the resin, which is the interior material 24 for the vehicle, as an optical guiding body. Accordingly, it is not necessary to arrange the optical guiding body separately unlike conventional lighting equipment, an increase in the number of components and the cost can be suppressed, and the interior material 24 for the vehicle can be made to emit light planarly. In addition, the assembling man-hour does not increase because the existing components are used.
