A vehicle lighting unit can be configured such that it is difficult or impossible for an observer to visually recognize a light source, a light guide and the like through an outer lens and to suppress brightness unevenness. The vehicle lighting unit can project light outwardly through an opening portion formed in a mirror housing of a sideview mirror along a vehicle length direction and near an outer side of the sideview mirror in a vehicle width direction. The vehicle lighting unit can include: a housing provided inside the mirror housing, an outer lens inside the mirror housing so as to close the opening portion, a light source disposed in a lighting chamber at a position vertically shifted from the position of the opening portion, and a light guide disposed in the lighting chamber while shifted from the position of the opening portion toward the light source.
