On an ILS approach to Runway 16L at HEF; at approximately 300-400 ft AGL; while scanning for approach lights; the crew observed two bright white steady burning lights located to the northwest of the approach lights to Runway 16L creating a momentary impression of REIL lights for Runway 16R.  The lights were shining directly into the approach path.  Crew continued the approach on localizer and glideslope; identified the MALSR for Runway 16L and landed normally.
Captain of a training flight reported lights near HEF Airport caused confusion during an IFR approach.
