Has anyone ever installed backup lights on an Advanced Design integrated with a Borg Warner T5?

The t5 has a reverse light switch in the transmission case, so all you need is some wire and lights.

My new harness will accommodate and fuse them, I'm just struggling with what might look good back there. I'd love to have backup lighting, maybe even a switch to just turn them on if I needed extended lighting for emergency or whatever. Anyone have photos of their backup lights addition?

Has anyone actually been able to see anything behind them with
a backup light? I never have, always thought, looking over the
front seat and thru the back window that they were a waste.

Denny, these days, I think they're more important for letting other people know you're backing up, particularly in parking lots (day or night). It's been my experience if hurried drivers don't see back up lights, they don't slow down. I had some close calls before installing a NOS set.
