Summary:A reflector 20 installed in a lamp body 10 of a headlamp is supported by an aiming mechanism E1 in such a way as to adjustably tilt the reflector 20. The aiming mechanism E1 includes one ball joint 13 which is held between the reflector 20 and the lamp body 10, two aiming screws 16 and 18 which are each rotatably supported by the lamp body 10, and nut members 17 and 19 which are each screwed onto the aiming screws 16 and 18 and integrally fitted to the reflector 20. The reflector 20 is fitted with a light-distribution switching mechanism F1 for alternatively switching between light distribution for a low beam and light distribution for a high beam. Each of the nut members 17 and 19 is carried by a pair of vertically opposed horizontal ribs 52 and 52 extendedly formed in the lamp body 10 so that a reflector-side load (weight) acting on the aiming mechanism E1 is reduced to ensure smooth aiming and the formation of adequate light distribution.
