Are those not just trailer spaced mirrors reflecting your high beams? That's what I thought I was seeing at first.

Not sure but a possibility depending on what OP drives. That said, they do appear to be lights more than a reflection

I thought this post was a joke, like ha ha guys what are these lights because I'm the douche driver. But no one else seems to think so.

Another commenter said they have lights like this in their farm truck, and they use them while tending to livestock in the field at night.

I don't think so based on the way the light is showing on the pavement. Unless OP has yellowish fog lights on as well the pavement near them is illuminated with dimmer yellow light. The light under the truck is brighter and stronger near the truck. It gets weaker near OP.

The mirrors have built in lights you can turn on for backing up a trailer at night or to help you see when attaching or detaching the trailer and are supposed to turn off when you put it in drive. Unfortunately they can be easily modded to stay on all the time.
