Thread: Reversing lights, minus the reverse.

Just stick a work light on a pole above the spare wheel and wire it to a switch on the dash. The best of both worlds. You have light and a switch to play with.

If you have a roof rack, you could mount a small spottie on that. I had two rear-facing spots on my old roof rack. They were aimed downward.

Dunno the legalities of being controllable from the driver's seat. Mine were switched from the rear loadspace. Oh, they also had covers on them when on-road.

Magnetic AND a hook! Although it doesn't give you a switch.... and you can forget it....and the body panels are probably not magnetic. Best idea is to mount a LED light via a dash switch.

No racks at the moment, my racks are a small pile of steel that a mate and i are somehow going to turn into a light bar, half racks (sunroof) sliders and a rear bar.
Might try fitting an LED to a bracket on the rear wheel carrier.
And a switch, definitely one of them

And a pair of sunglasses for when he turns around?

Use your rear fog lamps. I used them a lot while travelling with a trailer just ro check all was well.
AND they're red, so your nigt vision won't be affected as much.

That is actually genius, i find myself riding the brake a bit when going backwards when it's really dark to aid the ****y little reversing lights on the non-update D2's, good idea, as well as the fact they're red.
