PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lighting unit capable of illuminating a design member provided on the exterior of a vehicle and another lighting target with a simpler configuration.SOLUTION: An exterior lighting unit comprises: a design plate 12 made of a translucent material and mounted on an external surface of a vehicle; an LED 18 for emitting light traveling in a direction substantially orthogonal to the surface of the design plate 12 toward an end part of the design plate 12; and light distribution mechanisms 16 provided at end parts of the design plate 12, for bending one portion of the light from the LED 18 in a direction of traveling on the inner surface of the design plate 12 and bending the other portion of the light from the LED 18 in a direction toward a licence plate 100 provided at a position different from the design plate 12.
【課題】より簡易な構成で、車両の外装に設けられた意匠部材と、他の照明対象と、を照らし出すことができる照明ユニットを提供する。【解決手段】透光材料からなり、車両の外表面に取り付けられる意匠プレート12と、前記意匠プレート12の面に略直交する方向に進む光を前記意匠プレート12の端部に向かって照射するLED18と、前記意匠プレート12の端部に設けられ、前記LED18からの光の一部を、前記意匠プレート12の内面を進む方向に屈曲させ、前記LED18からの光の他の一部を前記意匠プレート12と異なる位置に設けられたライセンスプレート100に向かう方向に屈曲させる、配光機構16と、を備える。【選択図】図2
