All,
Anyone know these backup lights? I'm attempting to replicate a road car.
Thanks,
Ron

I've wondered the same thing. Of all the pictures I have of the Original road cars, none have backup lights with the exception of this car. I think they were added later, but don't have a source for them.

I will ask the restorer, I am going to use a generic classic one from Moss motors, jag E type would be appropriate as well
I like the look. Looks like bit like a Hella type light from a VW Ghia...

The Hella light looks very nice. I need them to pass CA registration, then they are being removed!

Look like Mini not British Leyland ….seen similar fitted over in U.K. - one reverse and one Fog which is a U.K. requirement

Oh and the light was fitted inside the rear clip to pass light through one of the 4 air holes in his case or through the mesh in yours.

I talked to the restorer they were a Lucas driving ligh from the 60’s but he does not remember which one.
They look too small to be a driving light to me ? In the UK a reversing lamp should really only have a 21watt bulb anyway.
The ones pictured look very much like Cortina 1600E reversing lamps, which I think were made by Wipac. Google 1600E reversing lamps.

I thought the same thing that it looked smaller than the LR8 style
What year are you trying to replicate? Back up lights were not required until 1966 on US cars. Californication?
I just thought they looked cool. I’m pretty sure they are these.
