Position light bulb?

Quick question guys. What purposes that tiny little position lightbulb serve? It sure doesn't look like it throws off much light.

Thanks and Vance for any insight you can give.

I used it as a reading light once when my wife made me sleep in the garage

Mine doesn't fit in the headlight shell since installing the LED headlight, so it just hangs, and is a kind of indication the power is on.

Mine still works with my LED kit, but to be sure, I've never used the parking light feature!
