I thought of adding that backup light to my IM roadster many time but I keep resisting as I would like to keep it as original as possible so I have yet to find a real solution it a hidden light Under the engine subtlety

Ray, do you see the tiny round LED light by the lower left corner of my plate?

It's a bicycle headlight converted to run on 12v, I used a 5 volt regulator(7805) to feed it. Since my battery is right there I tapped off that to power a relay. The relay only has power when the parking lights are on. I figured I only NEED a backup light at night. Honestly, the power draw is so little I didn't need the relay.

FYI, it is certainly bright enough to see, it gives a nice flood. I guess I could have hidden it better under the grilles, but my badges would be in the way LOL!
