well.


they are lights that come on when you go round corners.

they have been on mercs for years, range rovers and discoverys since the disco 3, various vag products. citroens, Peugeots, fiats.

nothing new, they light up the corner, for instance a curb.

not hard.

Those cunning French bds put them in their funny DS Citroens 50 years ago just to upset the writers of letters to The Motor magazine and confound perfidious Albion. Obviously workedsmile

My A3 has cornering lights built into the headlights.

They almost always take me by surprise when they light up the side of the road.

I can't say I'd miss them if they were gone but they seem quite useful when you see them on this video:

I have them on the runabout 06 clio. Side of the headlamp lights up when turning. They sound useless but infact they're really good when driving round badly lit side streets when theres cars parked everywhere and risks of people lurking between them ready to step out etc.
