Valance-Mounted Reverse Lights

Ever since I changed my tail lights to the '67 Caprice stuff, I have been without reverse lights. Not sure on the legality of that, I know some cars never even had them back in the 60's... But either way, my plan has always been to go back and add them, and I've been sitting on a pair of Mustang reverse lights for quite a while now trying to decide whether to install them.

All the cosmetic changes I've done to my car have been inspired a mix of Mach 1 and 68 Shelby, so if any external reverse lights would be appropriate it would be these, but I just can't decide whether to do it, so I Photoshopped it, and now here's a poll.

Planned:




...So, do it or leave it alone?

 

I say leave it alone... Just my opinion.

 

I say do it, but do it more lined up with the center brake light. JMO

 

I'd like to put them farther apart, but there's really nowhere else they can go without notching something. It's a tight fit. Here's fan2488's car, where you can see they're in about the same place:

 

I agree.They need to be moved out farther.

 

i like it with out. it looks cleaner to me that way.

 

What about a led strip just under the bumper ? kinda hidden between bumper and valance.. (just a thought)

 

I used these for a while. They are '69 Camaro RS reverse lights and bezels. BTW, the entire setup, including valence panel is for sale. PM or email me if interested.

 

Ok, I have determined there is one other way I can mount these:

 

...........

 

Clean and simple is my vote. I say dont worry about it. Legal or not, there will not be any on my Comet GT.

 

I like them towards the middle, then they don't look like fake exhaust tips.

 

That is the way I mounted mine

I've driven older cars that had no reverse lights because they were optional back then and it was no fun backing up at night without them

 

Now your talkin!

 

i like them closer together. But i think you already knew that.
