Finished back-up light installation
Got a backup light from Austin Weber the other day and finished the installation yesterday.
The 12 volt bulbs, #1073 and #93 were replaced with #1683 and #1691 respectively.
Power is supplied by the #21, service tail light wire.

I don't think I'm understanding how the switch works. It looks like it is in the engine compartment?

It's attached to the tranny housing and when the shifter is moved into the reverse position, it activates.....
