Default 69 firebird turn signal switch question

Looking to replace my turn signal switch in my 69 bird while I've got the column torn apart, the ones I look at are listed for turn lights and without turn lights, not sure what they are referring to with this, any ideas? Thanks for any help

What they are referring to are cornering lights. They are white lights on the corners of the front fenders that light the sides of the road when you turn. They are not directional lights. You can probably use a switch that has a provision for cornering lights in a car that doesn't have them. If you tried to use a switch that didn't have the provision in a car that had the lights they wouldn't light up.

Those are the only lights I could think of just couldn't think of why there was that option when all 69's had those

Not all 69's came with cornering lamps. They all came with side marker lamps but not cornering lamps, they are different. The cornering lamps are about 6 inches long & 11/4 inch wide, the marker lights are just 1 inch round lamps at the corner of the fender.
