A vehicle light (4) comprising a container body (8) delimited by a first perimetral profile (20), a lenticular body (24), delimited by a second perimetral profile (28), wherein the first and second perimetral profile (20,28) of the container body (8) and the lenticular body (24) are at least partially counter-shaped to each other in order to interface at a welding interface (32) of an abutment edge (36) of the lenticular body (24), said welding being a laser welding type, wherein the container body (8) serves as an absorbent element with respect to a light beam emitted by a laser source and the lenticular body (24) serves as a transmissive element of the light beam, wherein the container body (8) delimits a containment seat (12) that houses at least one light source and the lenticular body (24) is applied to the container body (8) so as to close said containment seat (12). The lenticular body (24), at said abutment edge (36), comprises means of redirection (40) adapted to receive laser beams emitted by a laser source external to the light (4) and to the containment seat (12), to concentrate and reflect them towards said welding interface (32). The laser beams impact on an outer side wall (44) of the lenticular body (24), opposite the containment seat (12) and, after passing through the lenticular body (24) directly or by at least one reflection, impact said redirection means (40), wherein the redirection means (40) are arranged on an inner face (48) of the abutment edge (36), said inner face (48) facing the containment seat (12) and incident with the welding interface (32).
