Indicators on a '66 Belvedere...

I've realised that what i'd assumed were driving lamps must be the front indicators (clear lenses so must need orange bulbs)
The rears would have just been the red tail lamps.
Anyone got any neat solutions for the rears?
Anyone bolted 'em on for the test then chanced it with the originals- ever been pulled for it?

Cars before September 66 can have red indicators on the rear...

Use your reversing lights

Didn't know that Pete, thanks

Considered that Rebel but thought they were a bit too far inboard.

Simples Paul.Convert the reversing lights, easy to do. I did it 2yrs ago to keep the m.o.t man happy.

I turned my revering light into both indicator and reversing light so I have best of both worlds.

Your reversing lights aren't any more inbound than the front indicators.
