My buckets have another little light at the top, thought this was normal until I looked close at other pics and most don't have them. Any thoughts?

If you goggle 36 chevy pics images the blue one in upper left corner and the gray truck in about the middle of the images have the upper light on the bucket that I'm talking about. Any wisdom out there?

Bruce is right, they're not 'normal' .... keep hunting long enough and you might find who supplied them and why, '36 may have been about the beginning of parking lights

Passenger cars from 35-36(?) had little lights on top of the headlights--maybe yours are from a car rather that a truck. I saw a set-up with the little lights wired to work as turn signals-- pretty slick.

Thanks Glen, I think we have it figured out. I like the idea of wiring them in for turn signals
