How to fit the Desmo Reverse light

[Catweazle]

Hello,

I want to fit the nice small Desmo Reverse light. What is the right fitting place for it and what modifications I have to do on my Mini ? Are there further parts needing for this job ? Thank you for any information.

Kind regards

There's no strict place for them to mount. They were aftermarket so fitted where ever the owner saw fit. Its convention to install them on the rear of the car though.

Depending on the gearbox, particularly the gear change you have, you may or may not be able to wire up a reversing switch, so you might need a toggle switch on the dash somewhere. Otherwise wiring can be quite simple, a wire from the battery through the switch to the light, then the light earthed to the body, preferably with a separate wire.
