PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular lighting fixture that is made attractive in terms of design when lighting up without affecting formation of a light distribution pattern.SOLUTION: A vehicular lighting fixture 1 includes an LED 4 which emits light forward; a projection lens 5 which is arranged before the LED 4 and irradiates the front with the light emitted by the LED 4; and two light guides 6, 6 which are arranged above and below the projection lens 5. Each light guide 6 has an end part on the side of the projection lens 5 extended up to a front/rear directional position between the LED 4 and projection lens 5 where the light emitted by the LED 4 and traveling to above or below the projection lens 5 passes, and also has an incidence surface 61, directed to the LED 4, at a rear end of the end part, so that light, traveling to above or below the projection lens 5, of the light emitted by the LED 4 is made to enter the light guide 6 from the incidence surface 61 and to exit from the front while being guided.
