Cornering Lights:
Explanation: Cornering lights are a feature in some vehicles that help improve visibility when turning corners at night or in low-light conditions. These lights are typically mounted on the front corners of the vehicle and are designed to illuminate the area in the direction the vehicle is turning. This helps the driver see obstacles, pedestrians, or other vehicles that may be in the path of the turn, improving safety and reducing the risk of accidents.
