The Ford Barn

I was at a flea market yesterday and bought a Ford Model A book by Jim Schild. Interesting reading. One statement in the book says that Ford authorized dealers to install a right side taillight in Sept 1930 as an option to enhance safety (and profit). I have never seen one on an unrestored car and assumed that they were all added during restoration. Is this correct, or possibly a U.S. only option? It would be nice to know if they could have come from the dealer so equipped . Does anyone have any info? Thanks, Jim.
