Alternating landing lights

You guys were very kind with my first query yesterday so here is another.

I travel by train in to London Fenchurch Street and Limehouse station is directly below the final approach into LCY when they are landing in an easterly direction. A short while ago my train was stopped at Limehouse and I watched a small business-type jet approaching LCY.

Now, from where I was sat it appeared that what I think were the landing lights (the white lights on the front of the wing directly next to fuselage) were flashing, or more accurately brightening one side then the other. Not unlike lights at a level crossing except that they didn't go out, they just got brighter then dimmed.

Did I see what I thought I saw, or was I up too late with the laptop the night before
