En inglés escrito SIDE LIGHT, como me corrigió mediamix. Pero la respouesta queda igual - "luz lateral"

Mi error - no el error del Diccionario.

Gracias, mediamix, por llamarme la atención a mi error.

neutral  Jennifer Levey: 'En inglés, escrito "sight light" ' ?? . Shouldn't that be 'side light'? And 'light' is often (wrongly) written as 'lite' in a vain attempt to seem 'modern'. Apart from those points, I agree with 'luz lateral'.
