    Reverse Lights! Empty Reverse Lights!

    Post by 62stationbus Sat May 27, 2017 8:23 pm

    Where I live , sometimes it takes me 30-40 minutes to drive 8 miles on the freeway to work. Mostly due to people who learned how to drive and navigate from some video they are currently watching on youtube while they are driving . A few weeks ago in the parking lot of the grocery store we attend, I was honked at and verbally abused by a soccer mom while backing out of a parking space. She honked, mouthed a dirty word or two, all because she was going mach 7 in a parking lot and the reverse lights were out on my wife's volvo , soccer mom let me know the lights were out.This got me thinking about reverse lights on my van and how much i like my paint job! Anyhow, i found these LED trailer lights on etrailer for $32.00 ea.
    I bought one to try out on the van. They have stop,turn,running and reverse lights. I managed to take them apart and get to the board. The board fits under the factory lens perfectly. I have a floor mounted shifter that has a neutral safety switch i wired the reverse light to, everything else wired straight to the factory plug. I like the results, check out the pictures. i bored a 1.25" hole through a tail light lense and then glued in a polished piece of acrylic for the reverse light.. what do you think?[[[img]Reverse Lights!

    That is an excellent mod, to be honest I didn't even think that the trucks didn't have back up lights?

    In the one picture there is a clear lens with 4 circles, what is that?

    You should also post the part number/link for reference!
