What are puddle lights?

I was walking with my friend to my car and when I unlocked it she noticed my puddle lights didn’t turn on. I don’t even know what puddle lights are so I never noticed they weren’t working. What are puddle lights?

Puddle lights are lamps built into the bottom of your side-view mirrors that light up the ground beneath the front door. These lights turn on when you unlock your vehicle using a
key fob
to prevent you and your friend from stepping into a puddle or something much worse–
roadkill
!
If your puddle lights are turning on when you approach your car and unlock it with a key fob, then your puddle lights are burnt out and you should have them replaced.
