1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a vehicular marker lamp having a light-emitting module that emits red, amber and/or other colored light and constituting a rear combination lamp.
2. Description of the Related Art
On the back of a vehicle, a vehicular marker lamp, called a rear combination lamp, which combines together a red tail lamp and stop lamp, an amber turn lamp, and the like, is generally mounted. In a conventional rear combination lamp, lamp chambers are designed so that each chamber has a red- or amber-tinted lamp cover together with a white-light lamp bulb, and red or amber light is radiated to the exterior of the lamp by lighting the lamp bulb of the respective lamp chamber (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (Kokai) No. 2001-110205, particularly pages 3 to 5 and FIG. 1 thereof).
However, in this conventional rear combination lamp, the lamp cover itself is tinted, and thus the red or amber color can be discerned even when the lamp is turned off. As a result, the lamp has a poor visibility problem especially when strong sunlight shines on the lamp cover and in like cases, and it is difficult to distinguish whether the light is on or is being emitted by the lamp bulbs or the sunlight is being reflected.
