To solve a problem that in the conventional vehicle lamp, the design of a front lens (lens, light transmission cover) is affected by a wiring plate heater (heating wire, heater).
Heaters (transparent conductive film heaters 5, 6, 20, 25, metal reflecting film 28) are installed on lamp components other than a lamp lens 4 (reflecting face 10 of the upper reflector 8 of the lamp unit 2, projection lens 13 of the lamp unit 2, inner lens 19, inner panel 23). As a result, the design of the lamp lens 4 is not affected by the heaters. Furthermore, adhesion of snow, ice, or cloud to the lamp lens 4 can be prevented by generation of heat by the heater, or the snow, ice or cloud adhered to the lamp lens 4 can be melted or removed.
