The lights are called VASI, or Visual Approach Slope Indicator lights. According to Boldmethod, the lights to the left of the runway are called Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) lights. These lights help pilots see their descent path when approaching a runway.

VASI lights are part of a system of lights that help pilots see their descent path when approaching a runway. They are visible from 3?5 miles during the day and up to 20 miles or more at night.
Another type of visual glide path indicator light is the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI). PAPI lights are similar to VASI lights but are installed in a single row of two or four light units.
Runway edge lights outline the left and right sides of the runway. Pilots use these lights to align themselves with the runway during approach
