A control device (50), a vehicle headlamp (210) adapted to be controlled by the control device (50), and a headlamp system (100) including an imaging device (30) the control device (50) and the vehicle headlamp (210) is provided. The control device (50) has a vehicle detecting section (62), a map storage section (56), a pattern determining section (54), and an output section (58) from which a control signal is sent to the vehicle headlamp (210) so that the light distribution pattern (Lo, Hi, LHi, RHi, LoV, S, J1, J2) determined by the pattern determining section (54) is formed by the headlamp (210). A basic map (56a) and a weather adapted map (56b) are stored in the map storage section (56). The pattern determining section (54) refers to the weather adapted map (56b) to determine the light distribution pattern when the weather judging section (52) judges that an environment in which the vehicle is traveling is in a weather condition that can cause an error in detecting the position of the forward vehicle.
