Yes…those are called lights and you turn them on so I can see you!!

Amazing what these things can do
Let me add to the earlier posting about the inherit misuse of the all mighty turn signal. What I find even more ludacris is the absence of people’s headlights! I mean – how in the world is this physically possible in the driver’s seat of a vehicle? (besides the obvious which is simply not turning them on)
When I climb into a vehicle under the cover of darkness or really bad weather, I often find it very handy to SEE MY DASHBOARD. It’s also a plus if you can see the ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU!.
It’s also a double plus if every other putz out there can see you coming DOWN THE ROAD!
Let it serve as a friendly reminder that my 2000 lb SUV might enjoy eating your VW bug for lunch, simply because you neglected one simple thing when you started your car.
Maybe I need those infrared glasses you’re wearing but since I don’t own a pair and probably won’t for many years to come - turn your LIGHTS ON! (Do cops write a ticket for being a complete moron?)
Alright, I’m done.
