Hot Rods 54 dodge convert courtesty light lense up or down ?

Hey guys
What is the correct position for the rear courtesy light LENSE in the back seat area of a 50's mopar convertible ?
is the lense larger slanted area point up or down. I'm thinking the taller edge/point of the lense is pointed downward. towards the seat . I guess the angle is suppose to shed more light in that direction .
what do you think ?
seen them pointed either way on the websites .
Thanks !

I agree it was likely positioned to throw more light downward. Suggest you rig them up in some manner, in a darkened area, with one pointing each way and see which direction projects the most light downward.

Good Idea Ray........ I can do that.
Thanks !

 

The way I look at things it should be down. The lenses looks like it should point down.

 

that is what I was thinking also mc.

 

My inclination is to think the deeper part of the lens goes downward, so I think we are in agreement on probability. However, I have had several instances over time in which the facts were counterintuitive. I would be interested in knowing how this turns out if you do choose to experiment with it.
