Reverse lights.

nobber · Feb 18, 2020

So, we can all agree that reverse lights simply arnt good enough, so I have a plan, fit number plate lamps to the top of your wing mirrors illuminating the mirror, this way you dont even need reverse lights as everything behind you is reflected in the mirror and made visible by the lamps illuminating the glass, simples.
Just thought I would run this by you leafers as you seem to like stuff like bad ideas.

Will that work?
Try it as I think the light will not allow the reflection onto the glass

Nowt wrong with my halogen work lights thanks.

What's a reverse light? Is this something on a modern car?

I thought that was the purpose of the bumperettes? (Braille parking sensors

)

What's wrong with using the hitch?

Series don’t have reverse lights so not bothered either way.

It was an option, later gearstick bridges were drilled and tapped for a switch.

That’s interesting, cos mine’s one of the last of the production run , was it an optional extra?

Wildefalcon · Feb 23, 2020

Yes, it was. Retro fit only.

Came with sensor, harness and light.

There's a hole in the bridge that the sensor screws to, like an early brake light switch.

Interesting. Do you know how late "later" was?

Also, that is a suspiciously clean looking gearbox for a series!

I purchased a new bridge for the rebuild last year, it was a genuine part, came tapped.

No idea when they switched, though.

Mine didn't have reverse lights so I added a "work light". I prefer this on a manual switch (plus warning light) as I can then leave it on when I'm loading up (its LED so there's little drain). I have it connected to a wireless reversing camera. The rear vis on a LWB is very poor and people are very stupid - it seems than just because I'm reversing is no reason not to walk right behind with a pushchair, I dispair..

Reverse lights.
