Life beings on another world decide to visit Earth. They build a vehicle that provides safe transport covering millions of light years distance, circumvent asteroids and space litter, black holes, gravitational pull, maintain comfortable temperature, hydrate and feed themselves, survive cosmic radiation, find Earth, decelerate, enter our atmosphere without burning up, decend to the lower atmosphere, and in the last 100 feet, they need to turn on bright lights to see where they are going? Really?

You’re making a lot of assumptions that I haven’t made and won’t defend.
My silly wild guess is that their cameras operate in the visible light spectrum might have the same need for light as our cameras. The same might just even go for their eyes.
