The auxiliary device includes a sensor for sensing the light output, and a processor operatively connected for computer communication to the sensor. The processor receives a measurement from the sensor. The measurement is associated with the light output. The processor detects a state of the light output based on the measurement, and transmits the state to one or more remote vehicles.
