B737-700 winglet lights and wing bend question
When viewing a B737-700 with winglets making an approach, with the observer at ground level situated close to threshold and on the port side of the aircraft, which are the two lights that will shine brightest? One appears to be the nose gear light but what is the other light that appears to be wing mounted? Where is it mounted (as accurate a description as possible please)?
Is the deflection of the wing in a 1.0g load condition clean similar to a 1.0g load with full flap?
What is the typical pitch angle for full flap final approach?
Sorry to ask such simple questions but I really would appreciate any help on this matter and it does have a real purpose. Many thanks,

what is the other light that appears to be wing mounted? - Inboard landing light in all probability
Is the deflection of the wing - to all extent and purposes, yes, since at 1g the lift = weight = same- so, yes, 'similar'
What is the typical pitch angle - zero (Flap 40)
