| Post subject: | reverse lites for 63 Dart wagon-can I put them on? |
I have a 63 dart wagon 170. it didn't come with reverse lites and I would like to install a pair of original ones. My question is two part: Originally, when the cars had them, did the quarter plate where they are installed (beneath the tailight) have a round indentation in the metal to accomodate the housing? Obviously, my quarter panels have none because it didn't come with any...so I'm wondering how easily I can install them. Simply drilling a hole may not work, if the metal had a slight flattened area. Secondly, how would I wire the reverse light switch up to the pushbutton and into the harness, then run the wires back? Advice? expertise? Thanks. |

The FSM shows them mounted barely above the bumper and below the body line that runs across the tail gate. Cannot tell if there are dimples there - but I would guess the body contour would be on the back of the reverse light housings. The reverse light switch is about the size of a quarter and is mounted to the bottom of the push button unit if the car is automatic. |

You have 2 wagons? cool, the kit should have a solenoid/switch that is activated when you car is placed in reverse, as for mounting the 62 valiants I've seen had a small dimple(flat spot) on the rear where the lights go. Also did you check the touchy article on rebuilding your heater switch? replace the highligheted touchy 1 with touchy2 & it will show you the rest of the article. |

The '63 Dart wagon backup light accessory package would've come with a template for cutting the necessary holes. Perhaps someone who has a '63-'64 Dart wagon with backup lights can make you a template out of the cardboard backer plate from a pad of paper. |
