Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease the attenuation of light due to repeating of total reflection, by making light carrying out incidence from an incident portion into a light guiding member directly reach an inner surface reflecting surface and carry out internal reflection on the inner surface reflecting surface, and radiating the inner surface reflecting light from an radiating portion to the outside. SOLUTION: In the vehicular outside mirror device, the light guiding member 14 is made from at least one of the incident portion 20 making light L1 from a light source 15 carry out incidence to the inside or a surface forming a hollow portion 23 provided on the inside. The vehicular outside mirror device is composed of an inner surface reflecting surface 21 making light L2 incident from the incident portion 20 into the inside reflect in a predetermined direction, and a radiating portion 22 radiating inner surface reflecting light L3 from the inner surface reflecting surface 21 to the outside in a predetermined direction. The inner surface reflecting surface 21 opposes to the incident portion 20 and the radiating portion 22. Consequently, the light L2 incident in the light guiding member 14 directly reaches the inner surface reflecting surface 21 without repeating total reflection, and the inner surface reflecting light L3 directly reaches the radiating portion 22 to radiate to the outside without repeating the total reflection, so that the attenuation of the light due to repeating of the total reflection can be decreased.
