A system for providing additional assistance lights to a driver (figure 1, 14) comprises a camera (figure 2, 24) arranged to detect the position of the drivers eyes, a sensor (figure 2, 26) arranged to sense an external vehicle 12, a display (figure 2, 28) arranged to display additional assistance lights , and a processor (figure 2, 30) connected to the camera, sensor and display and arranged to control the display to display additional assistance lights in a position that appears to the driver to be superimposed on the external vehicle. Preferably, the processor is further arranged to determine that the external vehicle is missing one or more lights and controls the display to display the determined missing lights in a position that appears to the driver to be superimposed on the external vehicle. The display may project light onto a windscreen and/or a mirror of the drivers vehicle.
