Benefits of technology

The patent describes a vehicle body structure with a curved housing panel that extends inward in both the vehicle width and length directions. This design reduces the overall depth of the housing panel, making it easier to shape. Additionally, the side surface of the housing panel is reduced in height, improving the attachment of aftermarket rear lamps. These features allow for a more compact and streamlined vehicle body, with improved lighting capabilities.

Problems solved by technology

Here, drawing depth of a side outer panel in a vehicle width direction is limited due to a design restriction, a restriction during a process, or the like.
For this reason, it has been difficult to arrange a light source in a side portion of a rear combination lamp, the side portion advancing to the side outer panel side.
Therefore, it has been difficult to include the side portion of the rear combination lamp, which advances to the side outer panel side, in a light emitting region for a purpose of improved design or the like.
