A design part installation structure includes a lamp body exposed on a vehicle design surface, an outer panel having an installation section for installing the lamp body and defining the design surface, and a parting line, which includes a curved third parting line segment, is formed between the lamp body and the outer panel. The outer panel has an orthogonal flange portion and an inclined flange portion. The orthogonal flange portion is provided in a section corresponding to the third parting line segment, extends from the installation section toward a vehicle inside, and is orthogonal to a main body. The inclined flange portion is provided in a section corresponding to the third parting line segment, extends from an extending end of the orthogonal flange portion toward the vehicle cabin, and inclines toward the lamp body as a position thereon shifts in the direction from vehicle outside to vehicle inside.

A light device for a vehicle improves viewability by giving variations to the appearance at the time of lighting without increasing the light quantity. The light device includes first light sources oriented to an irradiation direction of the light device, second light sources oriented opposite to the irradiation direction, a first base plate that mounts the first light sources and a second base plate that mounts the second light sources, and a lens that allows irradiation light of the first light sources and the second light sources to permeate therethrough. The base plates are disposed perpendicularly to the irradiation direction of the light device. A reflector reflects the irradiation light of the second light sources to the irradiation direction and an extension section surrounds the first light sources and stands so as to be oriented to the irradiation direction. 1.
