Default Cowl Lights not Ford?
I have a pair of cowl lights that I am not sure what they are from, I thought maybe someone here would have an idea to what they fit. They have jewel lens in the sides one is red one is green looking.

Look like fender lights to me. Jewels are for port and starboard.

More than likely, aftermarket, like Western Auto.

The reason I say cowl lights is that Studebaker put similar jewel lens on their car in the 20's one red and one green.

Anyone else have a thought to what these may be from?

early to mid 20's Hudson-the Studebaker choice was a good one also....

believe the jewels were "later" added.

But would the jewels have pointed up or down and not sideways like on a fender? Just throwing it out there.

Maybe posting on the AACA web site as well since they would have a much wider audience for the wide range of cars in the club.
