and while attending the Hunt Country Classic in Middleburg, VA this
weekend, I made it a point to look at the 12 or so MGAs there and not a one
had anything like this. These little lights are bullet shaped, chromed,
with thick, clear lenses. There are no wires emanating from them, and I
assume that there's no way to make them work with the tranny (or is there?)
Has anyone seen anything like them, or have information that would help me
connect them? I may just wire them up with a switch - they might even work!
You've been duped. MGAs never had backup lights, and there is no reverse
switch in the gearbox to accomodate them. Easy enough to add a toggle
switch somewhere and wire them up yourself. Just don't forget to turn them
off when not in use.
