I just noticed my 74 Eldo convertible doesnt have that red and white light on each of the bottom of the door panels. Do the convertibles come with them or were they an option? or did they just come on the coupes?

Interesting question.

All 3 of my 73 converts have em.   My 75 HT has em.  The 75 and one of the 73's did not have much in the way of options but they had those lights. 

Just did a quick scan of that era on ebay and all I glanced at had em.

COLLECTOR!  My 76 Coupe de Ville has them right from the factory in 1976 so I must assume all Eldos had them too in those years.  EAM

Here is a 74 Eldorado convertible on ebay.  The photos of the open doors show the lights you mention.  Why they are not on your car is a real mystery.

I just returned from where I keep my cars.  My 74 Eldo coupe parts car, my 74 Eldo conertible, and my 75 Cadillac Mirage all have the door lights.

New to the forum.. and FYI...  My 76 Eldorado has the red and white lights...

Calais models had two non-illuminating red reflector lenses on the doors instead of courtesy lamps.

Red & white courtesy lamps were standard on other models - all of which should illuminate whenever any door is opened.

When you say there are no red/white lenses, what exactly is occupying that space? Reflectors? Post a picture if you can.
