Best Answer

Helicopters have lights because of night operations. In the city they air lift people to the hospital, sometimes at night, so the helicopters can hit buildings at night without the lights.

All aircraft have 'running lights' on them. That is so other aircraft can see them and tell which direction they are traveling.
