2022 Acura RDX Corner, Bumper, & Parking Lights

Corner, Bumper, & Parking Lights

Bolster your ride’s visibility in dimly lit conditions with our wide assortment of Corner, Bumper, and Parking lights! While each of these lights serves a similar purpose, supplementing light beyond what’s produced by conventional headlights and tail lights, each style carries several differences that lend themselves to a particular purpose.

Bumper Lights

Bumper lights are relatively self-explanatory; these auxiliary housings are mounted on your vehicle’s front or rear bumper to increase visibility of your surroundings or other’s visibility of your vehicle in dimly lit or poor weather conditions. These lights come in several forms, ranging from reflective side markers to fog lights.

Corner Lights

Corner lights, also known as cornering lights, are traditionally affixed to your vehicle’s headlight assembly; however, they may also be free-standing, inset into the bumper or fender. These lights provide drivers with additional visibility while cornering, illuminating the surrounding landscape at your vehicle's front right and left corners. 

While cornering lights once came on nearly all makes and models, several modern vehicles have done away with cornering lights, instead opting for adaptive headlights, which project light in the direction of the turn.

Parking Lights

Parking lights are used for–you guessed it–parking! However, it’s a common misconception that they’re intended to illuminate your surroundings while actively parking. In actuality, parking lights feature low-power bulbs that inform other drivers of your vehicle’s position on the road while parked, in theory, preventing other drivers from colliding with your parked vehicle.

Marker Lights

Marker lights, often referred to as side markers, illuminate the front and rear of your vehicle to help other drivers gauge your vehicle’s position on the road. Vehicles typically feature an amber lens/bulb up front and a red lens/bulb out back, which may be separate or incorporated into the headlights and tail lights; however, some oversized vehicles, like DRW pickups, feature additional markers on their wide-reaching body parts, like fenders and mirrors.

Turn Signal Lights

Turn signal lights signal to other drivers that you’re getting ready to change your vehicle’s position on the road, whether that means shifting lanes or turning. These lights are typically amber up front and may be red or amber at the rear.

Puddle Lights

Puddle lights, also known as courtesy lights, are downward-facing lights that illuminate the ground beneath/around your vehicle’s cab, easing entry. These lights help to eliminate the risk of slipping, tripping, falling, or–as the name suggests–stepping into a puddle!
