It was Securitas that really began using lights. This could easily have been a carryover from their operations in Europe.
There is a real need for lights in some cities. An A-Body weighs about 12 tons loaded on average and is as big as an Army 5-Ton. That's a large truck for certain city streets and bridges (many of which have 10-Ton weight limits). There is a real niche for Lights (especially in Europe) in areas where streets are tight and road/bridge weight limits are low.
