Default Window Headlights have extra blinkers?

I was looking today at one of my old headlights and noticed there was a blinker style plug next to the actual blinker. i pulled the little plug and it looks to hold the same style bulb as the license plate light.

doing some research online through ebay i saw a window headlight...looks like there is another blinker there(making 3 per side)

anyone have any info on this?

If its anything like the 3rd gen windom its a city driving light. Its almost like drl's here but it uses its own light and isn't very bright. If I ever end up getting the windom corners I would wire that light up as a parking light.

Yep, i already did a thread on this with the windom city light conversion
The USDM es's have a different lower orange reflector, (solid plastic) so the light won't shine through..
BTW they don't blink.

nope, just plug in the 194 bulb.
You will have to take out the grey plastic housing for the reflector to see any light.
DO NOT drill a hole, the plastic pieces will end up everywhere inside your housing.
