Reverse Turn Signals

Reverse Light Turn Signal

Our goal is to have additional light when going in reverse. To do this we need a 7443 socket and switchback bulbs. You may need resistors if you don't already have the flasher relay upgraded. If you don't your bulbs will blink fast.

Cut the factory socket out with some slack. On the right is the original bulb socket. Had to grind off  all but 2 tabs to get it close the the factory. 

The top is the new switchback. Spice the POSITIVE (green wire) and NEGATIVE (black and white stripe) for the turn signal into the  turn signal wiring. NOTE factory signal wire colors may be different per side. Next give power to the new reverse by connecting it's positive to the positive
(Red wire) of the factory reverse.

New LED blinker on the right. I feel it looks more yellow than orange.

Was messing around with putting my faulty front switchback bulb in the rear driver side. Didn't really see much improvement.

Sockets came in so I was able to get one side done. Really happy with how it fills more light space in the tail lights.



Had to shave tabs off the socket to fit better then wrapped in tape to give more grip.
 

Ugly wires.
 


I've noticed when backing up if I hit the flashers they go orange which should be ok since I never have a turn signal on when reversing.
