Lamp for vehicle
A lamp for a vehicle includes a first optical module that forms a first light distribution pattern, and including a first light source part, and a first output lens part that outputs light input from the first light source part, and a second optical module that forms a second light distribution pattern having light distribution characteristics that is different from those of the first light distribution pattern, and including a second light source part, and a second output lens part that outputs light input from the second light source part. The first optical module and the second optical module are arranged in an upward/downward direction, the first light distribution pattern and the second light distribution pattern overlap each other to implement a low beam.
