They are the parking lights. They are turned on, along with the taillight(s) when you pull the light switch out to the first position. In the early 1960's, the government made turn signals mandatory. Whatever year it was, the parking lights were combined with the turn signals using a two-filament bulb. Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe they were just to spend money on and to get knocked off in the woods.
