A sub headlight unit (13L, 13R) for use in a vehicle that leans into turns, the sub headlight unit including a plurality of sub headlight light sources (13La, 13Lb, 13Lc, 13Ra, 13Rb, 13Rc) that illuminate, at one side with respect to a width direction of the vehicle, an area ahead and outward of the vehicle with respect to the width direction of the vehicle. Each of the plurality of sub headlight light sources is arranged such that, along with inclination of the vehicle from an upright state to the one side, the sub headlight light source moves downward from its position taken when the vehicle is upright. The plurality of sub headlight light sources are configured to be turned on in accordance with different lean angles of the vehicle leaning to the one side. Under a state where the vehicle is upright, the sub headlight light source configured to be turned on upon a large lean angle of the vehicle is located higher than the sub headlight light source configured to be turned on upon a small lean angle of the vehicle.
