Reverse light positioning
MB - 21/7/03 at 07:09 PM

In sva manual it says reverse lights are optional, must face rearwards and be a white light and there must be 2.

What is doesn't say is where they should go!

I thought I would put them on the back panel, at either side at the same level as the light cluster on the wings. This would mean they are >400mm from the edge and <500mm apart (just).

As they don't specify positioning (as they do for most lists) am I going to be SVA proof or have they revised this section of the manual?

I'm not bothering with reverse light,since the manual says optional i thought it best to keep it simple.

I'll put them on after the SVA maybe,then they can go anywhere i supose.

You don't need two. My car passed with one like many others. Put it level with the rear hazard to match it up.

yours, Pete.

I have put mine in a symetrical position to my single rear fog light.
