Hey, Ron...

You mean the little auxillary spots below the cibies in this photo:



I believe those are additional lights added for greater visibility/spread. Even these Cibies aren't necessarily "period". I believe an old Lucas lamp would be more period like on this car:



My goal here was to capture the essence of the look the European Masters Cobra guys are running - more of a functional, modern day approach rather than period.

Keep us updated on your final approach - all contribution is welcome!!
