Not sure if it is legal but I am more worried about not being seen ( I am also a motorcycle rider!!) by the brainless texting soccer mom with two screaming kids and driving 15 mph over the speed limit in the two ton SUV!!

I don't believe that reverse lights are mandated. At least not in CA.

California Vehicle Code Section 24606 Backup Lamps Says:

Backup Lamps

24606. (a) Every motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, of a type subject to registration and manufactured on and after January 1, 1969, shall be equipped with one or more backup lamps either separately or in combination with another lamp. Any vehicle may be equipped with backup lamps.

(b) Backup lamps shall be so directed as to project a white light illuminating the highway to the rear of the vehicle for a distance not to exceed 75 feet. A backup lamp may project incidental red, amber, or white light through reflectors or lenses that are adjacent or close to, or a part of, the lamp assembly.

(c) Backup lamps shall not be lighted except when the vehicle is about to be or is backing or except in conjunction with a lighting system which activates the lights for a temporary period after the ignition system is turned off.

(d) Any motor vehicle may be equipped with a lamp emitting white light on each side near or on the rear of the vehicle which is designed to provide supplemental illumination in an area to the side and rear not lighted by the backup lamps. These lamps shall be lighted only with the backup lamps.

Amended Ch. 813, Stats. 1981. Effective January 1, 1982.

I stand corrected!

I used to drive a car that was a "Ticket Magnet." Once got a 11 violations on one ticket with it. (Should have been 12 but the cop didn't ask me the right question!) I had cops that would know me by name and write me for every equipment violation they could find. Got one for no high beam indicator in that car once. Since they never wrote me for no reverse lights, I figured it wasn't required. Well, the car was a '67 so that's why.

I was in Long Beach on Cherry Ave. got cited for back up lights being on, loud exhaust and reflective tint film on the quarter windows. I was 16 at the time. I remember a few cops that knew by first name as well! Fun / not so fun times.
OH YEAH, I drove like an ass back then too, bet that didn't make a difference.
