Abstract: A lighting device includes first to third output terminals, a power converter, a bypass switch, and a controller. A first light source is connected between the first and third output terminals. A second light source is connected between the second and third output terminals. The bypass switch is connected between the second and third output terminals. The controller switches the bypass switch between ON-state and OFF-state. The controller controls the power converter to adjust an output current. The controller includes a voltage meter for measuring a voltage corresponding to an output voltage of the power converter. The controller compares a measured voltage of the voltage meter with a first threshold voltage while keeping the bypass switch in OFF-state. The controller compares the measured voltage with a second threshold voltage while keeping the bypass switch in ON-state. The second threshold voltage is smaller than the first threshold voltage.

Abstract: A vehicle light installed in a vehicle includes: a main case having a front opening; a first light guide disposed in the main case; a first light source that emits light into the first light guide; and a headlamp disposed in the main case. The first light guide (i) is rod-shaped, (ii) includes a first extended section extending from the inboard side of the first light guide relative to the vehicle widthwise direction toward the outboard side and a second extended section that continues from the first extended section, curves back inwardly, and extends to the inboard side, and (iii) opens toward a longitudinal center line of the vehicle. The headlamp is disposed between the first extended section and the second extended section. The first extended section and the second extended section extend toward the longitudinal center line of the vehicle to a point beyond the headlamp.
