1. A vehicle lamp for forming a predetermined beam pattern using a plurality of lamp modules arranged in at least one direction, wherein each of the plurality of lamp modules comprises:
a light source unit that generates light;
an optical unit that is disposed in front of the light source unit and transmits the light from the light source unit so that at least a portion of the light incident to an incident surface of the optical unit is output through an exit surface thereof to form the predetermined beam pattern; and
an optical path adjustment unit that guides the light generated from the light source unit toward the optical unit by adjusting paths of the light,
wherein the exit surface of the optical unit of a first lamp module among the plurality of lamp modules is disposed more forward than the exit surface of the optical unit of a second lamp module adjacent to the first lamp module among the plurality of lamp modules to form a predetermined inclination angle between the optical units of the first and second lamp modules,
wherein an auxiliary optical unit is disposed between the optical units of the first and second lamp modules, and
wherein the auxiliary optical unit is tilted in the at least one direction by the predetermined inclination angle.
