Control system and method for vehicle lighting arrangement

A control system for a vehicle lighting arrangement comprising a plurality of vehicle lighting elements disposed about an exterior of a vehicle;

• the control system comprising one or more controllers, the one or more controllers configured to:
• receive a hazard signal indicative that the vehicle is under a hazard condition;
• control the plurality of vehicle lighting elements to provide strobing illumination in dependence on the hazard signal;
• and
• in dependence on a determination that the vehicle is to perform an intended lane change while under the hazard condition, output a control signal to:
• spatially animate illumination provided by a first subset of the plurality of vehicle lighting elements such that a location of the illumination of the first subset moves to indicate a direction of the intended lane change,
• and control a second subset of the plurality of vehicle lighting elements to continue to provide strobing illumination such that the lighting arrangement concurrently indicates the direction of the intended lane change and the hazard condition.
