A vehicle exterior environment recognition apparatus includes a computer configured to serve as a vehicle identifier, a candidate identifier, a cover identifier, and a lamp determiner. The vehicle identifier identifies, from an image captured by an image-capturing unit, a preceding vehicle and a vehicle region occupied by the preceding vehicle. The candidate identifier identifies, as a light-emission source candidate, a candidate determinable as a light-emission source in the identified vehicle region. The cover identifier identifies a cover in the identified vehicle region. The cover covers the light-emission source. The lamp determiner determines whether the light-emission source candidate is a lighted lamp, based on a lighted-state determination threshold and one of the number of pixels and pixel area of the identified light-emission source candidate. The lighted-state determination threshold is based on one of the number of pixels and pixel area of the cover identified by the cover identifier.
