I use "parking lights", but I never use "city lights". But yes, that wedge-bulb is the parking lights on the LB. A lot of people swap them out to bright-white LEDs for a better look.

The term "parking lights" originated with the Model T Ford. The headlights were run off of the flywheel magneto and only worked with the engine running, meaning while driving. To provide marker lights warning of a stopped car on the side of the road, people installed battery powered "parking lights" that worked with the engine off.
