1. A saddle riding vehicle cornering light structure that is provided on a saddle riding vehicle which banks a vehicle body in a rightward-leftward direction and performs cornering and that enlarges an illumination range in a direction to which the vehicle body is banked at the cornering, the structure comprising:
a banking angle detection device that detects a banking angle of the vehicle body using a distance measurement device which measures a distance to a road surface; and
a light main body that illuminates the direction to which the vehicle body is banked in accordance with the banking angle detected by the banking angle detection device,
wherein the light main body and the banking angle detection device constitute an integral light unit,
a plurality of light units each being the light unit are provided in a separate manner on a vehicle body component and are attached to be distributed symmetrically with respect to a vehicle body rightward-leftward middle,
the distance measurement device is an ultrasonic sensor and has a detection portion on a lower surface of the light unit,
a detection region of the detection portion is formed below the detection portion so as to be a conical shape that is wider toward a lower side,
a central axis line of the detection region is set to be inclined outward in a vehicle width direction, and
a component of the saddle riding vehicle is set so as not to interfere with the detection region at least in a vehicle body upright state.
