It's getting dark early these days, and I thought it would be really useful
to have reverse lamps on the back of my Healey.

Has anyone added them, and what did you do?   I searched the archives, but
there was only one question and no follow-up to it.

thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom-years ago I added this reverse lamp made by Raydot. It connects=
=0Ato the tail/license lamp harness (which I fused in case of wreck) and=
=0AI ran a wire down the body loom into the under the dash toggle switch=
=0Ato manually turn it on. You could wire it in an elaborate way to come=
=0Aon with reverse, but this worked fine for me, for the little night=0A=
driving I do. Also now-a-days an LED probably provides blinding light.=

The way I did it was to fit a Lucas rear spot, which was pretty much
standard in period. There are smaller alternatives, it just depends how
much you want to see - and be seen.

Mounting was on a special rear mount (like a standard fog mount) either
on a rear fender or attached to the chassis or fitted via an additional
custom mount.

Light had to be turned on manually.
