Post Cornering Lights

I thought I noticed some additional brightness in front of the car last night when turning in a parking lot.

Lo and behold.....I wasn't seeing things. haha

Anyone else notice this?

amazingly simple design: just a small bulb pointed perpendicular to the main headlight
which comes on when you're headed that way

these are actually much more effective than those on my rx350 were,
which is probably why they re engineered them to begin with: how much could they swivel,
compared to just having a bulb pointed that way

yes the very sleek design makes swiveling lights seem like an engineering nightmare or impossibility.

oh well, first world problem...
