Default Re: Cowl Lights ??

They weren't just for aesthetic reasons. I can't remember the exact details, but I read somewhere state or federal law in those days mandated that cars have them in use when parking temporarily along the curb on city streets at night for safety; hence the name "parking" lights. Might do a Google search for more specific information.
