What does this light do?

The headlights appear to have two main “bulbs.” The large central one does both high and low beam duty. The other smaller one to the inside seems to do nothing. I have not noticed any curve adaptive technology (and apparently it doesn’t exist in Europe either, at least according to
) nor is there any obvious fog light function.

Also curious is that the headlights and taillights are completely devoid of any ECE or DOT markings. Only the US-only side marker lights labeled DOT.

Update here after darker evenings. These do indeed light up at low speed maneuvers.

I was going to say I thought those were the low speed cornering lights

Those lights are awesome. They turn on when you are at slower speeds taking a corner. The extra illumination is noticeable in dark areas. It makes getting into my driveway so much easier. I almost don't notice it until I drive my wire's car without them and cannot find the driveway.
