Backup Lights Again
I have wired for backup lights in my 1966 F100. Then I found out that the '66 didn't have backup lights. I figured that since they are wired in, I might as well find some. I haven't found anything that works for me on the web. What are some of you using?

Look at the very last post in your previous thread, a member gave a nice photo along with the brand and model number, I believe. Would not those work? He said he found his originals, maybe he’d sell you his? BTW, you could have just tagged on to your original post. Also, eBay usually has plenty of NOS, NORS and otherwise vintage looking lights for sale. Possibly places like Dennis carpenter, Tom’s Bronco Parts, etc. as well.

My experience with tagging onto older posts (at least on other sites) is that they don't get noticed.
I took a look at those and they are just a little too large in diameter. I have less than 3" to work with. I'm still thinking about whether I might find a way to use those or not.
Many of the round ones I found don't include dimension specs so I have no idea how big they are. Thanks much for your suggestions; gives me more to look at.

Styleside bed? Starting in 1967 Styleside rear lenses have a spot for a backup light built in. They look stock to the casual observer.

If I already didn't have the holes, the OEM 67 lights is a slick option.
Was that a pun?
