65 valiant is a 100 model, so it didnt come with the backup light bulbs/wiring...yet I see the wiring there ready to go..near the stop light wiring
anyone know what is needed to make both backup lights work?
Is it as simple as hooking up a bulb/housing inside the backup light and connecting to the little connectors?
thanks!

My 64 V100 has backup lights...........

connect a light bulb up and see what happens.

NOS backup light kits turns up on Ebay once and a while. So far I've seen only one Valiant that didn't already have it.

Any way you could post a pic of urs?...thanks!

Im confused why the driver side unit has 2 wires going to 1 connector and the passener side has 1 wire going to 1 connector for the backup lights?

If both wires go to the same point in the one connector, they just made the connection there rather than a splice in the harness.

I seem to remember that the backup light switch moved from the shifter to the trans in '68, but I may be wrong. Anyway, while the later 3 pin switch will screw into the early trans in place of the 1 pin switch, it won't work right unless you change the arm inside the trans (the reverse lights will be on in R &D,2,1). I swapped a later arm in to make it work, but it was somewhat difficult. It would be easy if you already had the trans out for rebuilding.

I would recommend putting a good quality microswitch on the shifter to run the backup light. One of the 6? pins on the body harness connector is probably already connected to the sockets.

thanks for the info!
My floor shift B&m has a micro shifter on it for the reverse already...ill hook up a bulb in the rear and see what it does in reverse
