They were called spot lights and popular in the day.
Police used them a lot.

Often when people restore or refurbish cars from this period they fit pillar mounted spot lights, if they were not fitted already.
There are also none working spots available to give the same effect at a lower price.
Sometimes, they tend to overdressed their cars using several other types of period accessories.
