A projection-type vehicular headlamp which is free from the difficulty of an unwanted light beam being formed by an inclined front lens and cover provided in the lamp body. A light projecting unit including a substantially ellipsoidal mirror in which a light source is fitted, and a projecting lens arranged in front of the light source for converting the output light beam of the light source reflected from the mirror into a substantially parallel light beam advancing forwardly of the headlamp are mounted in a lamp chamber formed by a lamp body and a front lens, the latter being an inclined lens the lens surface of which is inclined strongly rearward. A cover coated with a light reflecting film surrounds the front portion of the light projecting unit, the cover having a lower edge portion extending forward into a front extension. A light diffusing region is formed at least in the front end portion of the front extension of the cover.
