PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for controlling vehicular lighting that can avoid projecting glare to an oncoming vehicle even when own vehicle travels a traveling road with a gradient, and to provide a device for controlling vehicular lighting.SOLUTION: A device for controlling vehicular lighting includes a gradient detection circuit 13 for detecting a gradient in a travel direction of own vehicle and, when lowering a radiation height of at least illumination light radiated on an opposite lane side to a prescribed height or less, lowers the prescribed height as an up-hill gradient in the travel direction of own vehicle increases. Thus, irradiation light is controlled in accordance with a gradient in the travel direction and glare is prevented from being projected to an oncoming vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】自車両が勾配を有する走行路を走行している場合でも、対向車両にグレアを与えることを回避することが可能な車両用照明の制御方法及び車両用照明の制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】自車両の走行方向の勾配を検出する勾配検出回路13を備え、少なくとも対向車線側に照射する照明光の照射高さを所定高さ以下に低下させる際、自車両の走行方向の上り勾配が大きいほど所定高さを低下させる。走行方向の勾配に応じて照射光が制御されるので、対向車両にグレアを与えることを回避できる。【選択図】図1
