What Does a Cornering Light Mean?

[StNaomi]

Cornering lights are small bulbs within the headlights that illuminate at specific angles, assisting in lighting up blind spots during turns and providing early illumination of the upcoming turning area, thereby enhancing driving safety. Operation of Cornering Lights: When the driver turns the steering wheel, a separate set of bulbs on one side lights up (some vehicles use fog lights as cornering lights), helping to illuminate blind spots during the turn. Shortly after the steering wheel is straightened, the single-side cornering light automatically turns off. The differences between adaptive headlights and cornering lights are as follows: Adaptive headlights rely on rotating the reflector cup to adjust the direction of the bulb's illumination, while cornering lights use a fixed bulb set at a special angle within the headlight that activates when needed at certain angles. Compared to cornering lights, adaptive headlights offer more flexibility and can be used in a wider range of scenarios.
