[FC] Rampside parts - backup lamp

Well,  I've had this in the back of my mind (means I've not taken ANY 
action) for a couple of years now, a way to "invent" backups where the 
reflector would normally go.  Potential problems that come to mind are:  I 
don't know if there is space in the tailgate for a housing to fit.  Wiring 
would have to be run into the tailgate in some fashion that it would not be 
subject to breakage.  Where am I going to find a U shaped chrome piece and a 
lens that would look good in that spot?

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.
