Honda Cornering Lights—Better Lighting and Conspicuity

Anthony Fontanelle
March 7, 2008

Have you ever wondered why some animals have eyes set slightly on the sides of their faces, whereas others have eyes set directly ahead? Animals like zebras have their eyes slightly on the side because they need a wider scope of vision to guard themselves against predators. On the other hand, carnivores such as lions do not share this fear and thus have ocular settings that allow them to visually lock onto their preys.

As for us human beings, our eyes are set like those of predators. But on the road, we always need a wide scope of vision to remain safe from collisions. Of course, we cannot push our eyeballs apart to be more like a zebra, but what we can do is ensure that we can clearly see both sides of our vehicles, especially when it becomes dark out. Honda cornering lights are one of the many Honda parts that help us when driving amid low visibility conditions.

Just like zebra eyes, Honda cornering lights face both the front and side areas of your vehicle. Unlike zebra eyes, however, Honda corner lights provide wider illumination as well as increased conspicuity. This means that whenever you take your Honda for a drive late at night, you can see your sides better, and that other motorists can see you much better, too. A Honda cornering light therefore increases safety when driving, most especially in the evening when darkness increases the risk of vehicular accidents.

It is thus highly advisable to replace broken or burnt-out cornering lights with new Honda cornering lights immediately. And, if you want to add a little more pizzazz to your car’s look, you can choose from the many stylish designs Honda has for its models. With sporty Honda cornering lights, you can move like a zebra and ride into the wild, wild wind.
