[FC] backup lights for a rampy - access door

[Kevin Clark kevin@kcvairbrush.com]

I would like to place a pair early model backup light unit on the  
rear access door of my 63 Corvan. I want them to flank the license  
plate lights. Has anyone done that? I'm just a little concerned about  
the backside of the housing coming in contact with the oil filler cap  
and not being able to close the rear access door. The rear access  
door is easier to replace to stock spec down the road.
