[Healeys] Back up/ reversing light

[Kees Oudesluijs]

A small but powerful spotlight is an ideal reversing light. Many very 
slim LED versions are on the market and can be easily fitted, as they 
are often attached by double-sided tape. Position in the middle on top 
of the bumper is probably best.
