It's still turned on by engaging reverse gear ? I ask because .. if it's on a manual dash switch, sooner or later it'll get left on ( although if it's that bright you'd probably notice in the rear view mirrors ) .. and hey ...you might want to flash someone following you too closely with very bright headlights.. but it is also illegal just about everywhere to show a white light to the rear while driving down the road going forward. and then we really need cop style roof lights that point out to the side ...for finding ninja camping spots.. or the ultimate, the hand swiveled and tilted roof mounted spot light ..with the control handle inside. Don Hanson has such. Scott

the airplane light was in one of the other chrome housings (I have 4), I had a reg. utility lamp in the chrome housing I was originally going to use, not the 250 w aircraft light :) In any case, I'll go out on a limb and say that an additional back up light is a necessity, well around here it is. During the dark wet winters it almost comes down to backing up by braille. I don't know how owners with limo tint manage. alistair
