Saw a triangle of bright white lights heading NW of montauk highway.

I was driving home from up the island and as I was making a left onto scuttle hole road when I noticed 3 bright white lights in a triangle pattern (1 light at each corner of the triangle but no visible craft was seen, just the lights) and as I made the left on to scuttle hole road I tracked the lights heading NW at an accelerated rate. The three lights then became four lights and the lights were all of a sudden lined up next to each other but not in a straight line. You could tell that each light was an individual object at this point. As I traveled North on scuttle hole road I lost track of the lights as they headed into the clouds. The hole experience lasted about 20 seconds. Im sure other people on the highway saw the lights as well as they seemed too bright and too low to the ground to be an airplane of sorts.
