A vehicle lighting control apparatus includes a light control unit, a first detection unit and a second detection unit. The first detection unit detects a target object present outside an illumination range of a low beam of a vehicle, using a far-infrared camera. The second detection unit detects a location of the target object detected by the first detection unit, using a ranging sensor that measures a distance with a laser. The light control unit illuminates the location of the target object detected by the second detection unit with a marking light that can illuminate an area at a greater distance when compared with the low beam.
