Rear Foglight REVERSE Wiring

Hey guys,

I'm trying to see if anyone has a DIY guide somewhere on how to wire the rear foglight (the white portions, NOT the red) to work as reverse lights. A lot of aftermarket tails I've seen don't have reverse lights (at least I haven't seen any).

I tried searching the forums, but I've only seen wiring to make the red triangle light up

yeah... the white portions of the vbar are your reverse lights..
put car in reverse- they light up.

the write ups you have seen are to enable the rear fog light, though Dyode Dynamics has done a write up on how to make your rear blinkers function as secondary reverse lights.

your car came with headlights?

Mine had chrome things on the front, but no lights.

Step 1) Sell car.

Step 2) Wrap oneself in bubble wrap.

Step 3) Hope for the best.

bubble wrap with small bubbles or big ones.

And, do you have a "how-to" for inflating bubbles?
