I've a 1968 Morris minor, I want to wire in a reverse lamp, how do I go about wiring it in so that it comes on automatically when I engage reverse gear, or will I just have to switch it on manually?

As far as I am aware morris minors never had a reversing switch or provision for it (our 69 hasn't) the later midgets used a similar box and had reverse lights, it may be possible to use the extension housing from one of these.

Yeah digging around the options are either manually switch it on or use the remote section from a midget, which will bolt straight onto the minor box

Grumpy's used to do a kit, which consisted of a small momentary switch which fitted under the gearstick gaiter, which was operated by the gearstick when it was put into the reverse position. Perhaps somewhere like 12v Planet may be able to supply something suitable.

Looking into this around the web... I've bought a rally style Lucas lamp to go on the boot lid, but there seems to be confusion as to which is illegal, having it wired independent or via the switch as the light output will be too much,
I've probably made it more complicated by choosing a rally style spot lamp
Or do I just wire it in and play daft... or maybe not daft as there is so much conflicting information on it anyway

Hi, Maximum of two rev lights and 21w limit in each. If the spot light has a bigger bulb then it's not a rev light it's a worklight and needs a switch and telltale light on the dash, hint hint.
