Vehicle periphery monitoring device, vehicle body construction and vehicle imaging device

A side turn signal light (18) that flashes during operation is disposed on a vehicle body side surface of a vehicle. Further, a camera (10) that images a vehicle side zone that includes the side turn signal light (18) in a section thereof, and a near-infrared LED (24) for night-time illumination are respectively housed in a door mirror (14). A coating that allows visible light component to pass through while reducing near-infrared component is applied to a lamp bulb (20) of the side turn signal light (18). Alternatively, a film that allows visible light component to pass through while reducing near-infrared component is applied to a lens (22) of the side turn signal light (18).
