TOPIC: Backup lights on F units

Backup lights on F units 10 years 8 months ago #1649

RRDavey OFFLINE Engineer Posts: 98 Thank you received: 24	Bill--Please post some shots of those backup lights and markers. Sounds cool...Now to add some confusion to the topic. In my previous post I said the F3/7 B-units had marker lights to the left of the rear door. I believe I should have said end doors. B-units do have a front and rear designation, and from what I can tell the backup lights were at both ends...but I'm not 100% sure.--Dave

rdgfan OFFLINE Apprentice Posts: 19 Thank you received: 2	Dave, I took some pictures of my F3 with the lights off, marker lights on and backup light on. The back up light needs some more resistance to dim it a little, also it was a little too blue so it was painted with some amber transparent paint which makes it more like normal lighting. The leds will be touched up with some black paint and I still need to number the B unit on the rear end.
