A scanning light source includes a semiconductor light source, and scans an instantaneous illumination spot based on the output light of the semiconductor light source in the horizontal direction of the light distribution. A lighting circuit is capable of providing multi-gradation dimming of the amount of light provided by the semiconductor light source at each scanning position in synchronization with the scanning of the scanning light source. The lighting circuit is switchable between the first mode in which the semiconductor light source is controlled by pulse width modulation with a duty cycle that corresponds to the dimming ratio and the second mode in which the semiconductor light source is turned off over the number of cycles that corresponds to the dimming ratio.
