i think it would be nice to have cornering lights on my 06 SD.
ones that come on and show the side of the road in the direction your turning.

wonder if anyone has done this on there truck, and if so what did u use

thanks

Only ever see this on an ambulance

do u recall what they used for lights?
thanks

 

Not sure but here is a photo, as you can see on the front quarter panel, when they hit the signal it turns on solid to light the area they are turning towards.

 

We had a Crown Vic (maybe an '83) that had them and they were nice. I missed them when we sold the car.

Look low on the front quarter in front of the well.

 

I have them on my Marauder and love them. I upgraded to LED and they put out a crazy amount of light. It would be awesome for someone to figure out.

 

Had them on a 1977 Mercury Grand Marquis. Great accessory!

 

what a great idea. I've had cornering lights on a few cars, never thought about it since I sold the last buick that had them. I like the side lamp on the Ambulance and can picture adding to the lower from quarter panel (tastefully installed of course)

Be curious if any actually does this

thanks that a cool link, I'm going to check them out!!

 

I still have a car with cornering lamps, and I think they're very useful. I don't know why nobody makes them any more. The question will be whether you can get a turn signal switch that will fit in the column and also have contacts for them. They used a dedicated set of contacts. I this application you really need that. Without it, I guess "smart lights" has to use a computer to figure out what is going on.

 

I'll just mention in OEM applications these always used a backup lamp bulb. So in incandescent thinking, they were about 27 watts. Aimed low. That ambulance probably has some more oomph and can get away with it.
