A vehicle lamp includes a reflector tiltably supported by an aiming mechanism
intervening
between the reflector and a lamp body. An aiming fulcrum forming the aiming mechanism
is formed with a ball joint including a pivot on the reflector side and a bearing
on the lamp body side. The pivot is formed with a shaft portion on the base end
side and a ball portion on the front end side. The bearing is formed with a cylindrical
ball bearing portion formed on the inner periphery where a ball supporting surface
in press-contact with the ball portion opening forward via a ring-like diameter
reducing portion. Vertical slits are provided in the open peripheral edge portion
of the ball bearing portion. The ball portion is formed into a substantially hemispheric
ball portion such that its front side press-fitted into the ball bearing portion
has a spherical surface.
