Yes, over light is actually not one of the official terms but it certainly conveys your desire for an egg flipped on the grill (or in a pan) and cooked on the second side long enough to solidify the white, but not harden the yolk. The official designations for proper fried egg orders:
Sunny side up: Never flipped, cooked from bottom only and served with some of the white on top, and all of the yolk, still soft
Over easy: Flipped, cooked briefly on the second side to get the white solidified but leave the yolk soft
Over medium: Flipped and allowed to cook until the yolk becomes thick but still not hard.
Over hard: Flipped and cooked completely through from the second side with a hard, whole yolk
Over hard, broken (or just "fried"): Once cooked on first side, break the yolk, flip the egg and cook it hard (plus the yolk is spread out this way — good for fried egg sandwiches
Basted: Not flipped. Fried in a pan and basted with either fat (most commonly bacon fat) or other hot cooking liquid until the top turns translucent but the yolk remains soft.
There are countless other ways to prepare and egg, and each person may have a preference or variation on one of these standards.
Bon Appetit!

You got a LOT of answers yesterday.
Yes they are the same thing but the proper way to order them is over easy.
