Re: 1940 Parking light placement

Thanks guys, for the quick response and info. I maybe should have mentioned that my car is a '39, which shows parking lights in the 'option booklet' for that year, but they look a little different and seem quite rare. I have seen numerous sets of these 1940 lights for sale but haven't come across any actual '39 lights. My car did not have factory signal lights and the parking lights per se, were in the headlight teardrop.
That is why no holes and the query as to where exactly they should go. My parking lights did come with the under-fender plates and when I rewired them, I did crimp some thin wall black rubber hose over the wire where it comes out the bottom. I do like your idea of a grommet in the fender hole Joe. I will line them up at 35 3/4" from the bottom of the front fender face and see if they mirror the orientation in the pictures. It kind of looks like the mini teardrop should 'point' at the center of the main headlight can. Thanks again for the help.
