Default help with name of 1950's lights, please

Hi everyone! I'm going to describe these lights, and if you would, please give me the proper name for them. They are the taillights, but the type that ride very low to the ground. The center frame has six bulbs and two on each side frame. The whole setup consists of three seperate pieces. My guess is the side frame would fit around a saddlebag. Only other clue I can give you is they are from the 1950's. I appreciate any help you can offer. If my decription is lame, I can provide a photo. Thanks, xployher
