1. A vehicle lighting device, comprising:
a socket;
a substrate provided on one end side of the socket;
a light-emitting element provided on the substrate;
a frame part provided on the substrate and surrounding the light-emitting element;
a sealing part provided on an inner side of the frame part so as to cover the light-emitting elements;
a reflection part provided on the substrate and between a side surface of the light-emitting element and an inner wall of the frame part; and
a wiring wire that electrically connects an upper electrode of the light-emitting element and a wiring pattern provided on the substrate,
wherein an upper surface of the reflection part is a concave curved surface that protrudes toward the substrate, and
wherein the reflection part is provided on a joint part between the wiring wire and the wiring pattern, and
wherein at least one of:
a linear expansion coefficient of the material of the reflection part is smaller than a linear expansion coefficient of a material of the sealing part, and
a Young's modulus of the material of the reflection part is smaller than a Young's modulus of the material of the sealing part.
