"Aren't quarter-lights"
No, Bob....they're not. You're wrong and that's all there is to it! (How's
THAT for a rotten attitude!!:)
They're called running lights as are the ones under the little red lensi in
the back that operate full time when you've got the switch on.
****but*****
Or, we know them as side lights even though they're at the front !
Used to be known as parking lights, as it was / is , illegal to park a car
on an unlit road without leaving your lights on.
Some minis used to have a seperate bulb which went through about a one inch
circular hole in the headlamp reflector. Same in the sealed beam units
except the bulb holder stayed outside the glass reflecter and there was a
clear patch left out of the silvering for the light to shine thro'.
Quarter lights are the little (usually triangular ) windows that can hinge
open - or not.
They are not the main window but either the foward or rearmost window on
the side of a car.
