A vehicle front lighting apparatus includes a lighting device array in which a plurality of lighting devices are connected in series, a plurality of bypass circuits, a plurality of switch elements, a lighting controller, a current value detector, a voltage value controller, and a disconnection determiner. The voltage value controller applies a voltage to the lighting device array, and controls a voltage value to be applied to cause a value of current flowing through the lighting device array to reach a predetermined target current value. The disconnection determiner determines that there is a disconnection in any of the bypass circuits when the number of the switch elements brought into the opened state does not match the controlled voltage value.
