Id love to find an old photo of this light on either a car or a motorcycle

This is is also a light I have never seen before now.
Nice find but pity that it is in amber.
I have never liked that lens because it is small in size and only have horizontal prismas.
It only makes a thin vertical light pattern which lower the visibility.
