To solve the following problem of a vehicle lamp with a housing and an outer cover fixed by laser welding: welding strength is reduced when the housing and the outer cover are pressed from the outside for laser welding.

The vehicle lamp including the outer cover 20 and the housing 10 jointed by laser welding, and the method of manufacturing the same, are provided. The vehicle lamp includes a welding base part (13) protruding on a circumferential edge part (12) of the housing. On the outer cover (20), there is a welding leg part (25) having a concave groove (26) opposed to the above, and a laser beam is irradiated on the concave groove (26) from a side direction for welding with the concave groove (26) receiving the welding base part (13).
