Quick easy mod (reverse lights)- pics

[70c10]

Recently Longhorn Man and matthufham explained a quick fix for my reverse lights not working since I've owned my truck. I took their advice and unplugged the harness from the switch, added a lighted rocker switch (I used a blue switch) to my shifter plate (Matt's idea and his pic ) and ran 2 new wires to the harness. Works like a charm!. Tonight I decided to take my new favorite tape (Nashua brand foil tape) and line the reverse light housings with the foil tape to create a reflective surface. I trimmed off the excess with a razor blade. This made the light brighter and more uniform . The other benefit is it makes the new lenses look better during the day also. The last pic is in my pitch dark garage. This tape is awesome stuff!. Very sticky, conforms to any shape and is rated for moisture and extreme temperatures. I bought it at Home Depot for about $4/roll.
