Here's the illustration from the Ford accessories brochure:

Henry, do you have any accessory books that either show or list a part # for the cone shaped "stand" that is used with the backup light when the car is equipped with bumper tips? Vic

Sorry. I've shown all that I have - parts book and accessory book.

Here are a couple of Pioneer backup lights that stand a little taller than the Ford ones that might work with the bumper tips. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...oneer&_sacat=0

CoolCoupe, No the switch on the column would control the light. The hot feed to the switch came from the tail light circuit, so the switch would only have voltage to it when the tail lights were on.
