What is that on? Those look like opera lights to me. If they don't have handles on them that stick out (I can't tell in the pic), that's what they are. Google "opera lights" and see if you find some you like. We have an '89 Caprice that has them, but they don't look like those.

I'd bet it's a J.C Whitney piece from back when they were big.

"Opera lights" or maybe more correctly "coach lights" - which is just a tactful way of saying "hearse lights". Yep, the ones shown in your images are the coach lights used on the sides of hearses. Go here, they have around 50 different styles of coach lighting (all about $20 -$25):

Opera lights, on the other hand, are more elaborate - and way creepier:

Good info. I searched "Caprice opera lights," and I saw some coach light/opera light listings. I've never heard them called "coach lights" before, but that sounds cooler. These are the ones that, as far as I know and have seen, came on the Caprice Classic LS Brougham trim level from 1987-90. I'm sure you could easily find them on other GM B/G Bodies, but I haven't seen them.
