Yes, it's a paint code for white.

[Ghoste]

In this case, your car decodes as blue lower, blue upper, white interior and white upper door frame going across that row from left to right.  Does that make more sense?

I need to check a few things out on Monday when I get access to a couple of resource books to confirm a few things (did this from memory, but I think it's right) and to list out what the Light Group contains.  If you haven't already, make sure you register with Chris (Just_6T9_CHGR) and the 1969 Charger Registry.  His site has all the details on options, etc.

A01 light group was a glovebox light, a map light, an ashtray light, trunk light, hood mounted turn signal indicators, ignition switch lamp (timed), and a glovebox lock.  There might be more, I'm trying to do it by memory too but mine is foggier than Geno's.
