Prob a stupid question lol but If you change my mk3 lights to Mk2 is there an easy way to mount a reversing light without drilling the boot lid? And where do you guys get that style of reversing light from?

Don't bother with a reverse light - not required.

Thanks i kind of like the spot style reversing lights though!

I know you must use a 21w bulb does anyone stock a rep of this type of reversing lamp? Anyone got a nice pic?

I've fitted LED lights into the number plate bolts. Off eBay for a tenner.

No where near as bright as normal reverse lights but better than non and invisible when not in use!

Thanks no rear fog on my car - 79 looks cleaner without anything hanging down IMO and i like the spot style

You could try this set up...........if you have the time to make them..................

[richw911]

That looks good ^^, but no im going spot style or no reversing lights at all

I think that Rover should have done it that way, without the shiny surround, just a recess each side! Probably too penny-pinching to change the press tooling to make a properly recessed valance....

Not required to pass an MOT, but if you remove one where it was fitted as standard, be sure to advise your insurance company of the modification though, otherwise they may not pay out in the event of a claim that occurs as a result of you reversing, particularly if it were to involve a pedestrian, or happen during the hous of darkness.

Also.....it's a pain in the rear not having a reversing light.

I guess this is what you mean:

You have to drill through the boot-lid to fit it. It is a Lucas light and Holden Vintage & Classic do a good reproduction: 5 3/4 in Lucas Reproduction WFT576 Foglamp - Rear Mounted, £97.40 (in stock).
