    I am going to go with aftermarket Torino or Shelby brake lights but they have no white back up light. I am thinking about putting them in that 6 or 8 inch wide panel below the bumper. Anyone know where they have those back up lights or have any other ideas? I got to believe it is against the law not to have white back up lights. I evn thought about lights under the rear frame.

    I am looking at these lights:

    You link didnt work for me. I've seen early Mustang back up lights used before. Personally, unless you have to get the car inspected, I would not worry about back up lights. I'm not putting them on my Comet.

    yea, links not working for me either.

    im actually going to use 68 cougar/mustang reverse lights mounted on the rear valence towards the outside edge on each side like they would be on a stang or cougar valence

    Yeah, assuming you wanted to have them, the Stangs used round lights mounted on the rear valance panel below the bumper.
    A few guys here use them on their Mavs.
