[DeTomaso] Indicator lights on race cars?

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

I thought they were for nighttime ID but it does seem plausible that they
could be used to e.g. announce coming into the pits also. At Le Mans Classic
I saw many cars running with them on continously in the dark.

Several times I have noticed colored lights on the (outside) body of race
cars, mainly
1960's and 1970's vintage cars.



Sometimes on the (pit) side, other times on the roof, like Pantera 1189, for
example.



Sometimes 2 lights, other times 3 (red, blue, green).



How are they used?  (Pit signal, oil pressure, etc. ?)
