3. Move the corners home
- With headlights, turn to put them on the left. Without, leave it.

See the cases

The top is all yellow. PLL moves the top pieces home, in 2 parts. This part looks only at the side colours of the 4 corners.
Look for headlights: two neighbouring corners with the same colour on the same side.
Headlights: turn to put them on the left, do picture 1. None: do picture 2. Headlights on all 4 sides: the corners are done, go to the next step.
Then turn until all 4 corners match the side centres. Edges may be off; the next step fixes them.
