Opened up my current lights and found them to be missing a bulb on each side. So now I'm totally confused

Anyone know why this could be?

Went through an mot and passed 20191107_165000.jpg
It has main beam, side lights for lights. Just these are missing

Could have been for foglights if not fitted in the bumper...it was a thing back in the day.

I'd have thought that there should be a bulb (H1 maybe) located into the hole in the plate that's screwed into the back of the head light. Should the car have 2 dipped either side and the bulb above has both ???? ie a H4 :confused:

Is the bulb in the headlight twin filament?
Perhaps there has been a mod done to convert it.

I'll have a look tonight on both the fog light theory and the end light theory.

Many Thanks

But i might look at getting a set of modern looking lights instead of the glass fronted ones. More of a style thing. Anyone done that?
