Lights that you mount around the vehicle and/or trailer to help you negotiate tight tracks and obstacles at night - I'm sure there's a proper name for them!

Brush lights? Obstacle lights? Vicinity lights?

Anyone?!

Run with "Auxiliary Lights" and just do it.

I sent one final shout after him to stick to the track, to which he replied “All right,” That was the last ever seen of Gibson - E Giles 23 April 1874

In the USA they are called rock lights. So you can see the rocks I suppose.

I know them as Rock Lights too. Some are activated via a master switch to provide power to designated circuits and can be either turned on by a L or R switch OR switched via a micro switch or proximity switch on steering. ie, turn left slightly and LHS turns on, or turn right and RHS turns on. Any modern LED array will do. Taxis use similar idea with a L or R switch to see house names and signs but they shine higher up.

I've heard them called ditch lights. We never drive at night so not familiar with them really (other than the ones (usually blue) on the underside of doughnut specialists in cities).

Big difference between the "rock" lights for negotiating tracks to the ones used by doughnut dongheads in towns. One is to see where you are going, the others are for, "Look at me, Look at me" attention seekers.
