Corporate aircraft flight crew reported lining up and beginning their takeoff roll on the right edge of the runway. They quickly realized their error; corrected to centerline; and continued the takeoff.

Narrative:
Upon receiving takeoff clearance for runway 1R at intersection bravo; the captain (and pilot flying) taxied onto the runway and turned left to line up on the centerline. All lights on the airplane were in the on position and operable. It appeared we were lined up with the runway centerline. PF advanced the power levers and the airplane began to accelerate. I heard a few (3 or 4) loud thuds that sounded like the nose wheel going over an in-ground runway centerline light. I glanced at the instruments and back outside in order to make the appropriate call-outs. Once I realized we were lined up on the right edge of the runway; the PF began correcting to the left to get toward the center of the runway. The PF continued the takeoff and the flight continued without incident.the intersection did not have lead on lights (green) to enhance crew situational awareness to assure proper line up with the runway centerline.
