Can someone explain me the work of this thing?!

looks like head light with possibility of changing them to "cat-eye" light

See answer on Missing-Lynx Ciro.

they could be blackout light

Do you mean the metal-cover on top of the light? It´s for directing the light-beam to the ground.
It seems to be moveable...

Hi guys,
many thanks for your replies....it's a military blackout light.Next question is:
Is it moveable?!
Over Tankograd book I've found a little photo with few words that claim blackout lights as a features of a "late type" of the MAZ...anyway in the same book there are many other late type that haven't these lights.
Do you know more?!

Regards

Did I understand this correct; a blackout-light is to hide the lighting from the enemy and allow only minimum lighting when needed?
Thats interesting, thanks!
I read a description on another page on the web.

Ha ha
I've read the same page LOL.....yes it's a blackout light.
Now a wish to know if it's moveable or not....

Cheers

It is removeable.

Right, it is movable, so that you can use full lights in general but "dimmed" lights when needed. All of the East German Army (NVA) vehicles had those blackout lights. Some of the other Warsaw Pact troups used them as well. If you see pictures of NVA vehicles, you usually can point out those blackout lights. There are existing different styles and version though.
