The invention provides a vehicular lighting apparatus which can improve front driving load visual confirmation of a vehicle even in case of sever whether such as rain, snow and fog under which the vision in front of the vehicle is poor. A vehicular lighting apparatus includes a headlight that irradiates the front of a vehicle; a condition detection part that detects a weather condition at a position of the vehicle; a travelling route estimation part (230) that estimates a road shape of a travelling route in front of the vehicle; and a control part that controls a luminous intensity distribution of the headlight. The control part controls the headlight in such a manner as to irradiate a road surface zone in front of the vehicle with a reduced quantity of light when the condition detection part detects such a weather condition as to cause a low visibility in front of the vehicle, the road surface zone in front of the vehicle corresponding to the road shape of the travelling route estimated by the travelling route estimation part.
