PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an arrangement structure for mounting a headlight to a vehicle in which light distribution of a clearance lamp is ensured sufficiently, and which is reduced in size and improves a flexibility in design.SOLUTION: An outer lens 20 includes: a design surface part 21 disposed at a front side of a clearance lamp unit 40; and a side face part 22 extending from the side of the design surface part 21 closer to a radiator grill 3 to the side of a lamp body 11. The design surface part 21 includes: a translucent part 23 through which light from the clearance lamp unit 40 is translucent forward; and a plurality of first step parts 24, extending in a lateral direction, for vertically scattering the light from the clearance lamp unit 40. A part of the side face part 22 protrudes forward from an end part of the radiator grill 3 adjacent to a headlight 10. In a part of the side face part 22 protruding forward, a plurality of second step parts 25 are provided while extending in a longitudinal direction for vertically scattering light from the clearance lamp unit 40.
