Exterior lighting system for a vehicle

An exterior lighting system for a vehicle comprising:

• a lighting source configured to emit a light beam, the lighting source being part of one of existing exterior lights of the vehicle;
• an object being configured to have at least one active position and a passive position, the object being configured to modify the light beam in the at least one active position and to have no effect on the light beam in the passive position, the object being a deflector configured to deflect at least part of the light beam in the at least one active position;
• a reflector configured to reflect the light beam after being deflected by the deflector;
• an actuator configured to move the object between the at least one active position and the passive position;
• and
• a controller for controlling the actuator, the controller being configured to:
• deactivate the actuator when the vehicle is not parked, so as to prevent the actuator from moving the object, the object staying in the passive position;
• and
• activate the actuator only when the vehicle is parked, so as to allow the actuator to move the object from the passive position to the at least one active position.
