Need car light-to-right-45degrees (walkers, dark coats, walking home from train)

Because prior train's passengers walking home at 5:45pm,
invariably dressed in black-seeming suits and long-coats,
ie 100% invisible, since car lights point straight ahead.
Any ideas for lighting up BROADLY across the front, especially
to the RIGHT (so doesn't blind oncoming traffic)?
But invisible people also exist to the LEFT, like when crossing
the road from left to right. That light, I suppose,
should, be pointed more downward, to avoid blinding oncoming
car-traffic.

Question: what do the police have for lights-to-the-side?
Thanks!

Sounds like you're talking about corning lamps:

I don't see them as much as I used to, but I did happen to notice them
on a car just two nights ago, so maybe they're making a comeback.
