There is provided a vehicular lamp that can reduce a high-frequency noise
occurring between a primary side and a secondary side of an anode voltage
applying coil at low cost. The vehicular lamp includes a cold cathode
fluorescent lamp having a cathode, a gate, and an anode, and an anode
voltage applying coil operable to apply an acceleration voltage between
the cathode and the anode of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp, in which
one end of a secondary side of the anode voltage applying coil is
connected to a reference potential of a primary side. Moreover, the
vehicular lamp further includes an anode current detecting unit operable
to detect an electric current flowing between a connecting point to the
reference potential in the secondary side of the anode voltage applying
coil and the cold cathode fluorescent lamp.
