Reverse Lights :

I was in the garage at Santana Row on a Saturday night and could not back out of a parking space without having kristin blocking traffic. people flying by in their 'posh-spice-mobiles. --ugh...

We also went to a friends house in LG and the outside was soooo dark and with the limited visibility driving at night up there backup lights would keep me from damaging anything. --also made me think of footwell lights.

I have a set of backups on the way, -- I figured out a mount I think. same reverse lights used on the 1968 911.

It is a simple mod; Near your passenger side (US) rear tail lamp assembly on the inside of the trunk there is a set of wires that plugs into the tail lamps and such.

In that bundle of wires, you will find a "Black wire with a white stripe" with a single female 1/4" socket. that is the 12V+ reverse light wire for the lamps. There is a grommet down there below the tail lamp towards the fender --to feed the proposed backup light harness to the underside of the car.

Other End: under the transmission tunnel also on the passenger side, there is a pair of 2 wire female connectors;

1. for the reverse light switch (also black and white wires)
2. for the neutral safety switch (note this connector will have a brown jumper inserted.)

Once completed , I will do a little writeup and post it somewhere here.

The car is good to show interested friends, but i still need to clean up some zip ties and such from the install, as this was quite the R&D bird.

-- and with me only having an R&D staff of 2. (me and my cat...)

and with undercar exh this think is almost civilized.
