Hello fellow mini folk,

Before I drill a hole in my bootlid, I was looking for your opinions on a Lucas type reverse light? They look rather nice on a rally replica, but I'm unsure if it might be too much for my mini.

Your views will be most grateful

Cheers, steve

It'll look great! I have one on mine and love it.

What fitting a more rectangular one below the bumper in the middle, and not having to drill a hole in the boot.

I can't say I'm a big fan of the spot style reverse lights. 

 

I went with a pair of rectangular Wipac units for my fog and reverse light on my MK3 S rep.

I've done one of those as well on a 90 degree bracket on the centre bumper bolt.

Yes, this is what I was thinking. It looks clean and if you want to remove it at anytime in the future, the bodywork and bumpers won't have holes in them.

thanks for all your input folks. I did get a bit trigger happy earlier.....  DSC_0028-1.jpg   25.83K   44 downloads

That's what I wanted originally....then I saw the price!!
Mines a vintage miller spot light. Not the same I know, but it has a classic look to it so it will do for now

Here is mine, i think they look awesome!

Be careful though, because you are only allowed a certain wattage (21W? possibly) for reverse lights!

 

For your motor, the mk1 look is lovely as is!

Cheers for the advice and comments.

I have modified the inside of the lamp to fit a more modern 21w bulb, as the one fitted originally was an big old fashioned thing that looked more like a household bulb!!

I eventually settled on the under bumper ones, but went to the added effort of making up separate bracket to hang them from.
