[FC] Reversing Lamp/Reflectors

[Ben's Bus]

I made my own with some lexan, DOT reflective red tape, and chrome plastic
door edge molding from the auto parts store.  If I were to do it again, I
would use 1/8" aluminum instead of the lexan as it has a slight tendency to
warp in the sun.  Total cost-about $15 for four reflectors (enough for my
Brier and Ramp).  And do they reflect!!!
