Abstract
A vehicle headlamp mounted on a vehicle is capable of forming at least a first light distribution pattern projected onto an area below a cutoff line and a second light distribution pattern projected along the cutoff line to overlap with the cutoff line. At least a partial projection area of the second light distribution pattern is adjusted in luminous intensity according to a position of a target object outside the vehicle.
