The voltage across each light actually depends on their resistances. If it is given that the first light takes 3 volts, then it is apparent that the second light takes the rest of 6 volts in order to equalize the voltage of the 9 volt battery.
"Potential difference" is simply the difference in potential between any two points in a circuit. The presence of a potential difference would cause current to flow in the circuit.
