Thread: Adding reverse lights on a 34 Ford sedan?

Tweet

you will need to provide more info than "How to" is the ford STOCK is it a hot rod street rod automatic stick column or floor shift. "Simple" mount 2 lights under rear bumper and put a switch on the dash

Unless they are required in your state for inspection or driving, they aren't even needed. All of the older cars back from the 30's to the late 50's didn't have back-up lights and as a "grandfather" law are not required when making one of those year cars into a street rod.

Would look like tits on a fish, in my opinion

In a asthetic situation like that you could get creative and hide them inside of the existing rear lenses........they might have a red tint to them due to the back lenses ,but would still keep the familiar pleasing look to the rear of your ride.

There are several ways to actually make the lights come on and off automatically depending on what you have ,most use some sort of switch actuated by the shifting mechanism when it is in reverse.


Describe more of what you have in the car as far as auto or stick ,on the column or the floor ...etc, and I am sure someone here can get you the information you need to make this work for you.

It`s always fun coming up with fixes and mods like this where none existed before........

By the way ,I am with you ,I have had the reverse lights go out on a few rides....they are a very nice thing to have in the dark ,especially if you do not want to bend/smash or break things ....

Good luck gettin it worked out !
