side marker lights

I have seen some photos of 1988 Cougars with side marker lights in the trim, and others without them.  Examples of each can be seen here:

Were these side marker lights an option?

Cornering lamps are probably the most usefull option on a loaded Bird/Cat. It may be the thing I miss most, when driving another car. Well, at night, anyway.
