Hi all... I saw a post about red and green lighs in the wings. I want to ask about the two red lights, that are situated usually between the wings and the nose, and are continuously "revolving" when the aircraft is about to move: what are they for ? Well... see you. Bye

I thought I heard somewhere that the red lights mean that the engines are on...

There are usually other clues that the engines are on. I mean, if you saw a 757 cruising along at 35,000ft would you need to look for flashing red lights? - hey, I got one of those Smiley things without even trying.
But seriously, they're to stop other planes flying into them and to stop baggage handlers from banging their heads on them.

These are anti collision lights. They are on anytime the aircraft is moving or about to move under it's own power or by some other means such as a tug.
The red ang green lights are known as navigation lights and indicate what direction the plane is moving. Red is on the left and green is on the right.
