keiser31 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 They would use them while parked to alert other drivers of a car on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28 Chrysler Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 There are some versions that were red/white. Some states had lighting laws that required cars parked on the road at night to have side marker lights. Marine lights the port and starboard (red and green) lenses are about 40° so they can't be seen from the stern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreendragon Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I remember my Grandfather had a truck from the 30's that had lights like this on top of the front fenders. I don't know if it came that way or he put them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
