Thanks for informing the mis-informed.

That's exactly right. It acts as reflectors (however, it's a light... so it's more visible) so that oncoming traffic and cars going the opposite direction can see the car from a distance. A good feature if I don't say so myself.
Of course, it wouldn't sway me from one car into the other ;)
