In a lighting system for a vehicle comprising lamp deflection angle control means
for changing and controlling a deflection angle in the irradiating direction of
a lamp corresponding to the running situation of the vehicle, lamp deflection angle
control means 2 and 4 include means 45 and 5 for setting
the irradiating direction of a lamp 30 into a preset reference position
when an ignition switch S2 is turned ON. When the electrical system of the
vehicle is turned ON so that the illumination of the vehicle can be carried out,
the irradiating direction of the lamp 30 is set into the reference position.
Consequently, when the lamp is turned ON again, a car running in an opposite direction
can be prevented from being dazzled by the illuminated light of the lamp.
