cheap reverse lights DIY
well after many times reversing up the drive way with only the standard light on the troll i decided to fix the problem of not having enough light, after a couple of set ups and not having much money me and my old man came up with this solution to the problem all we did was get some cable joined it to the revrse cable drilled in 2 small 55 wat lights at the back and wammo problem solved, i know there are better ways out there but this is cheap and does the job fine for me .

Looks neat Timbo,
Not sure , but you might consider putting in a relay from your reverse light wire feed to switch those on mate, your reverse circuit will be small and designed for a single globe of about 5w only. a relay used with the switching circuit from your reverse light will sort it out and cost you next to nothing and very little time or effort. Better to be safe than sorry.
pm Yendor if in doubt. All good bet it makes a MASSIVE Difference!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
