Has anyone modified the reverse light lenses on a 72-74?

[Copilot]

I really don't care for the reverse light lens on my 73, my plan is to modify the two extra brake/park light lenses i have to fit. I know they are different sizes, anyone do this mod before?
Thanks in Advance

I don't think anyone has. As of yet. I never thought any reverse light was adequate. I was more so a warning light for others. Same for the E body mirrors. This day and age there are the back up cameras. I always trust the mirrors. On one job ( Airports,flight 93 and others) or two there was no right of way to turn around. For months half the day was backing up one of thesis just mirrors. They go like a mountain goat-bear or Mountain Cat. One drop of rain and their worthless on a smooth dirt road!

A long time ago I bought halogen 1156 bulbs. I seen how hot they got and never put them in. I think they were 25 watts or more,

The super white (5000K) LED's are better than the OE bulbs. None are great for any kind of illumination though.

I purchased a converted set from a member over on ebodies. org some time ago.
They were super bright and worked great! Not much destruction of the outside housing. You might be able to find the conversion he did over there if you search it.

Would like to see how that worked out. Brightness of light cast. 70 challenger has a larger reverse light lens surface area.
