Title: '53K back up lights
Post by: dpledger on February 24, 2015, 11:28:00 PM

When I got my Manhattan back in the dim ages of the past it had a back up light mounted on the right rear area. Approaching the end of the long resto I am about to remount it, but have noted that the books seem to list these as being sold in pairs. I have never seen any evidence that my car had a second light, and am curious as to whether there were any other single installations.

Single lamp installation was common back in the day. Selling in pairs was more so a marketing gimmick to sell more lights.

Thanks-I had noticed that the one light seemed to do an adequate job of illumination, even preventing disaster when backing down a mountain in CO long ago.
