1. A lighting system for lighting a lateral region of a vehicle outside a lateral side of the vehicle, the system consisting of:
a rear first luminous module configured to emit a first light beam; and
a front second luminous module configured to emit a second light beam,
wherein the rear first luminous module and the front second luminous module are arranged along a straight line portion of the lateral side of the vehicle so that the first light beam and the second light beam are oriented toward each other,
the first light beam is configured to be substantially conical around a first main emission axis that has a first angle of 15°-35° with the lateral side of the vehicle,
the second light beam is configured to be substantially conical around a second main emission axis that has a second angle of 145°-165° with the lateral side of the vehicle,
the first main emission axis, the second main emission axis and the lateral side of the vehicle form a triangle, when viewed from above the vehicle, and
the straight line portion of the lateral side of the vehicle is substantially parallel to a driving direction of the vehicle.
