Reverse lights.. Before and after - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Here's where I feel the reverse lights should be. While I love the look of the silver trim ring around the taillights, it would be better served as a part of the light and light up as the reverse lights!

First gen. RS Camaros had solid red tail lights and the reverse lamps were below the rear bumper. All other first gen. had reverse lamp in tail light.

Look at the pics of the car at The Ring in Germany....the rear diffuser area, just above the exhaust pipes....that's where the reverse lights should be....wait, that would be like the concept wouldn't it?

something in the body of the new maros would be nice

Silverado, that's exactly where I want them too! Think it would be less expensive to place them there in the diffuser than in the bumper?

Im getting a black one, so I will just put black lamin-x film over the lights to black them out a little bit, but still make them usable.

why cant they just put them in the tail lights like a lot of other cars... i mean what im begging to know is.... why are they where they are? lol..... they look terrible there... is there any specific reason why they are there. The back end looks so much better without bang smack in the middle.

I like em where they are personally. A possible reason they cant be in the difusser area is because of the exhaust and such that is there giving off heat and taking up space, I would think that would be a pain to feed wiring in to make a light work and re-inforce it to hold up against the heat. I don't want them in the tail lights because the tail lights are very very unique to the camaro and they look awesome as they are at as just a clean single light with nothing else integrated into them. Just my opinion though.
