Hi I  have a 65 Corsa and am changing the tail lights to 66 to 69 style and 
am also  replacing the reverse lights with tail lights. Any suggestions for 
"hidden"  reverse lights or a nice style of light. My first thought was to 
use early  Mustang reverse lights down low on the outer corners. I have been 
watching  youtube of Cedar Rapids but haven't seen any. Thanx  Bill




They aren't "hidden" but they look nice. Mercury Capri used bolt-on  white, 
rear facing light mounted on a single stud on each side under the rear  
bumper. The Corvair already has the mounting holes available in the lower part  
of the bumper. You wouldn't have to find the exact Capri lights, but any 
single  stud mounting white light would work. (But the Capri's looked good!) 
If  you use driving lights, be gentle or modify them for rear facing work. 
You  don't want to (necessarily) blind someone behind you. Look at the 
underside of  the rear bumper and you will see the holes.
