From what I can tell, it would do a great job of illuminating the back of the front fender but not much beyond that. I think a couple of swivel spotlights would have been much more effective and practical.

I think it's just one heck of a "courtesy light". It was probably operated by a switch on the passenger's door![:0][8D]
