Get the Best Priced Dodge Charger Cornering Light

The 2016 Dodge Charger might be just the ticket for those looking for a large sedan with equal parts performance, luxury and attitude. Most rival sedans employ front-wheel drive, while the Charger is unapologetically rear-wheel drive, with AWD available on V6 models only. The big Dodge is also one of the only sedans in its price range to offer V8 power, ranging from the bargain-priced R/T model to the notorious 707-horsepower Hellcat.

Standard safety features for the Charger include stability and traction control, antilock disc brakes, front-seat side-impact airbags, a driver knee airbag, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints. Standard on some Charger models and optional for others are rear parking sensors and a rearview camera. Optional advanced safety features include a blind-spot warning system with rear cross-traffic alert, a lane-departure warning system with lane-keeping assist and a frontal collision warning and mitigation system that's bundled with adaptive cruise control. The frontal collision mitigation system can initiate automatic braking at all speeds if the driver does not respond in a potential collision situation

The 2016 Dodge Charger proves that driving a large sedan doesn't have to be highway drudgery. The steering feels sporty and precise, and while the ride quality is supple and forgiving on bad surfaces, this big car offers impressive control and balance when you squeeze it around tight turns. Happily, the Charger is conventionally sedate in normal driving, with much lower ambient noise levels than its brash styling and performance might lead you to expect.

White cornering lights are positioned at the front fenders of the vehicle, and are often integrated with the front side marker and/or turn indicator lights. When the turn signal is activated, they illuminate, casting light around the corner being turned, so the driver can see the curb, the road, and anything else that may be lurking around the bend. Corner lights were introduced by Cadillac in 1962, and soon spread all over the GM fleet.

The cornering lamp consists of a clear lens surrounded by a chrome bezel, and projects a clear, bright, steady beam of light in the direction of a turn. Operation of the cornering lamp is controlled by the turn indicator switch, which turned on the corresponding cornering lamp automatically, and the light is extinguished when the turn indicator is cancelled by returning the steering wheel back to the straight-ahead position. The cornering lamp is wired through the headlight switch so it only works when the parking or headlamps are turned on.

Whereas adaptive headlights are designed to illuminate long, sweeping bends, cornering lights are meant to provide a bit extra brightness to help with sharp turns or parking. Cornering lights generally only switch on at low speeds when the indicators are on, reverse is engaged or the steering wheel is being turned furiously. To provide this functionality older cars employed a small side light, while modern vehicles generally employ a swiveling lens in the fog light or main headlight housing.
