But of course in the UK most of these have different names, and some - like
the "sidemarker lamps" don't exist at all!
And a "quarter light" as in the original thread topic, is nothing to do with
Mr Lucas. The term light refers to a window or pane of glass - as in
Elizabethan buildings with "leaded lights", "skylights", "fanlight",
"borrowed lights" etc.
Remember these are LBCs.
Actually, I think everyone should stick with the British naming of parts and
drop all references to hoods when you mean bonnets, rotors when you mean
discs, fenders when you mean wheel arches (unless you really do mean
guitars!). Would I refer to a Ferrari Red Head? I don't think so!
