Back Up Light ???   Empty Back Up Light ???

Hi All,
I was wondering how many of you have a Reverse /Backup Light ??? and if so
what kind are you using. Texas doesn't require it for yearly inspections
but I've been thinking I might want one, just so folks know when I'm backing out.

Appreciate any pics or thoughts.

Take Care,

Craig

My Sebring came with a pair of surface-mount round lights on my car like these: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

If you don't already have any holes drilled then a Lucas back-up light mounted to the bumper would keep it vintage and British: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thanks Very Much, I'd found quite a few of the Sebrings where people had taken off the Rear Bumper and put those round lights in it's place. I think I'd like to have my bumper on for my own sake ;-) The Lucas one is the type I was thinking about, the mounting
bracket is one of the the things I've been looking for, as thought I saw a "Clamp" type a while back.

Thanks , I appreciate seeing these !!!

Take Care,

In my case, I still have the bumper and the two round lights are attached to the body under the bumper. They slightly point down but give adequate light to the rear. I think the Lucas would look great hanging from one of the bumper brackets.

Thanks so much, I like that mounting, I'd been looking at brackets to attach to the Bumper but this eliminates a lot of the things I didn't like about that.

Take Care,

You’re welcome.
I wish I could tell where to get them. They fit to the underside of the body so perfectly that I think they were from the factory
