AA 757s on the other hand have an extra "taxi light" on the nose gear, along with the nose gear landing lights. The taxi light is a lot dimmer and that's what we use on the ground. The nose "landing light" switch only comes on when cleared for takeoff, along with the the wing landing lights.

DL bubbas am I correct?
