Rear Reflectors to Reverse Lights?

[sdb8100]

I've searched a bit and I've found some mention of this as a concept, but has anyone done it? If so, wiring, parts used, etc?

I'm working on my '69 resto and I'm routing the exhaust to come out the center w/ dual tip. This gets a little busy with the reverse lights hanging there.

See attached image of what I'm talking about for the reflector turned into reverse light.

That’s a cool idea. I think the wiring would be pretty straight forward; you would just extend the current wiring, that I believe comes from the drivers side, to both locations and install the lights. As for the lights themselves I would go with whatever fits.

That was my assumption as well. It's always nice to find someone who went through it before you to see if they ran into any hurdles. Thanks!

There is a fellow named Layne Powell who was telling me about this mod along with installing 3.5 in aux driving lights in the front turn lights. Then incorporating turns in the combination after market headlights with turn bulbs. I don't know if he's on this forum though. These are pics he sent me. Pretty cool!

That's great to see. Thanks!
