Another idea is something like a MX5 flip up headlight mounted in the boot lid. Paul H That is an epic idea. Epic. |

Good luck finding these at a reasonable price.  The cheapest one I've seen on eBay went for £75! Apparently they're very much in demand with Mods for their scooters. That said I managed to pick one up for a fiver at a car boot sale, and that was still in its Lucas box. |

Didnt the Mercedes S class - around K plate model, have reversing lights that came up and out of the rear wings? Classy.... No, they were marker posts so you could identify where the rear quarter corners were. |

My '73 (which had the bus interior lamp back up lamps) didn't even have hazard warning lights fitted and that is modern enough to have an alternator and pre-engaged starter..  |

This was todays job. Yeah, it looks a little silly but for the first time since owning the car I can reverse in the dark now! I got this Ranger and a Fogranger for a fiver- both bulbs work as well.  |

I've still got the number plate light off the Volvo 1800S that I broke for parts. Imagine something chromed like the Herald above light but flat mounting and reversing light in the middle. I'm sure there must be other cars with similar setup. In fact tomorrow I'm off to the lock-up and get the Volvo item off the shelf as perfect for my Marlin Paul H |
