Directonal headlights shine right when you turn right, left when u turn left.. u get the picture. Marcades tried directional headlights but they were mechanical and prone to problems. I am suggesting a non-moveing superbright LED array on each side of the car that would light up based on the turnsignal and wheel direction. These could also be used as daytime running lights as seen in another suggestion.

       Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I think Tuckers' Tornado (Tornado?) had a central headlight that turned with the front wheels?   

       Directional headlights were baked years ago, by Citroen. I guess it's just a matter of time before LED takes over from current halogen incandescent format lights, for vehicles.

       Just spotted that. Perhaps a Blues Bothers type sound cannon? Pedestrians, deer and kangaroos stay well out of your way.

       Baked in 1987 nissan bluebird, at least - with headlights on the corners next to the main forward-pointing headlights. Controlled by indicators.
