The standard headlights plug into a socket in the hull which has the electrical contacts on the inside of the hull. The thickness if the glacis plate of a Jumbo is such that a standard headlight would not reach the inside of the hull so a different system would be needed. A fixed headlight from a truck could have been used but it was policy that headlights on armoured vehicles should be removeable and only fitted when needed as they are so easy to damage in action. Also they did not want to have any more holes or shot traps than they had to so the easiest thing was no lights or siren / horn.
