BACKUP/REVERSING LIGHTS.

[Seaside Pete]

Hi Guys

 

I am about to fit a pair of backup/reversing lights to my 47 P15. My question is as the bulbs will be about 21 watts each will I need a relay or can the switch handle that amount of draw? (I have attached a pic of the switch I am using) because I only have room on the fuseboard that I have made for 1 more relay and I know I will need one for a pair of spotlamps that I intend to fit, or perhaps I should use LED bulbs as they don't draw as much power.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Pete

 I think that switch will do the job but first , why not have a look at your transmission and see it there is a hexagonal plug between the shift rails and the tailshaft extension. On 49 and up this is where a back up light switch was placed. I am not sure if 46-8 had that option.
