Back up Lights

[formulaj]

I would like to know if there is another backup light that will fit. I installed strobe lights. I went to put them in the backup light but they hit the light so I would like to know if anyone knows of a smaller light that will work in there.

Would also like to know, my strobe hits the bulb, but neither have blown.. yet

Just install the strobe in the back up light bulb spot... then install some aftermarket back up lights..

I could do that never even thought of it. I have light to install guess I have to get on them

Well I thought of doing that and I already have four other rear facing 55w lights.. but when I go for inspection, wont I fail for not having the reverse lights in?

i think your other lights will count if they come on when the truck if placed in R

Does the law in Mass say you have to have bulbs in there or just that you have to have back up lights?

Well, I searched google and had no luck finding the law. The lights dont come on tho when I put it in R, only by a toggle switch. Anyone know how I could make them come on when I put it in R, but not draw the power from the R circuit, and still be able to switch them on whenever I want? Sorry for the complicated question (or simple to some idno).. doesnt hurt to ask..

You need a ON-OFF-ON switch. You will have three connections on the switch, connect one to the reverse wire, one to a 12v source and the common to a relay powering the lights. The relay will get its power from wherever you connect it. The ON positions would be either a manual on from the 12v source, or from the reverse wire. Optionally, you could use a ON-ON switch, but the the lights would either be manually on or switched from the reverse wire with no off setting.
