PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure of coupling portions of exterior parts capable of mitigating an impact force on an obstacle when a vehicle collides with a head lamp, and preventing the head lamp from being abraded by an edge of a fender when the head lamp is displaced inward of a vehicle body for mitigating the impact force. SOLUTION: In the structure of coupling portions of a head lamp 2 and a fender 1, a circumferential edge 2A of a surface part of the head lamp2 is protruded upwardly to a fender edge 1A of the fender 1, a projecting part 5 lapping on the fender edge 1A of the fender 1 in top view of a vehicle is provided on the circumferential edge 2A of the surface part of the head lamp 2, and the circumferential edge 2A of the surface part of the head lamp 2 and the fender edge 1A of the fender 1 are separated from each other below the projecting part 5.
