A vehicle lighting unit can include a first lens and a second lens disposed below the first lens, and a first semiconductor light-emitting device disposed substantially at a vehicle rear-side focal point of the first lens. Light emitted from the first semiconductor light-emitting device in a narrow angle direction can be incident on the first lens. A first reflector can be disposed diagonally forward and downward with respect to the first semiconductor light-emitting device such that light emitted from the first semiconductor light-emitting device in a wide angle direction is incident thereon and reflected diagonally rearward and downward. The light emitted in the narrow angle direction and incident on the first lens having a luminous intensity higher than the light emitted in the wide angle direction. A second reflector can be disposed diagonally rearward and downward with respect to the first reflector.
