Additional reversing lights

[nigpdreadingfc]

Hi all
Have any of you more adventurous and capable chaps, fitted additional reversing lights to your Cali?
If so, would you have any details please? TIA

Because the 6.1 Cali uses LEDs, it's not quite as simple as it would have been with traditional filament light clusters. Have you tried turning on the rear fog lights? These can throw a fair bit of extra light rearwards. The other thing is the circumstances; do you have a dark driveway or something you're trying to reverse into, or is it for arriving at campsites in the dark? If the former, you could get a solar PIR light and aim it to give light where you need it.

I've had Lazer Elites fitted to the front, which needed a canbus installed as well, so with the additional reversing lights, it will probably need a canbus to run off the existing revising led lights.
It isn't for home or for campsites, it's for soft roading in the wilds of Scottish and north England forests

Soft roading …….. what’s that please?

It's not hard core off roading that the likes of land rovers etc do, it's getting off tarmac and on to gravel or muddy tracks in woods and forests etc

Why not fit a manually operated additional reversing light operated by a switch fitted in a blank on the dashboard.
+tve wire from engine or leisure battery to switch, fused, from switch to light and a -tve from light to chassis ground. If you want a switch that illuminates then that would also require a -tve to a chassis earth point.
