1. A vehicle lamp comprising:
- a plurality of light source modules each having an LED as a light source; and
optical systems for distributing light from each of the light source modules frontward and toward respective predetermined areas that are different from each other and that form a light distribution pattern, whereineach of the optical systems is optimized for distributing the light to one of said predetermined areas,each of the LEDs of the light source modules is optimally arranged for a corresponding optical system, and wherein at least one of the light source modules includes a shading member having a shape that is substantially the same as a light distribution pattern for a low beam vehicle headlight and has a corresponding optical system, and wherein the corresponding optical system includes a projector lens.

Abstract
A vehicle lamp can include a plurality of light source modules each having an LED as a light source, and optical systems for distributing light from each of the light source modules frontward toward predetermined areas or predetermined patterns that are different from each other and which make up a light distribution pattern. Each of the optical systems can be optimized to emit light to a predetermined area, and each of the light source modules'"'"' LEDs can be optimally arranged for each of the corresponding optical systems.
