Isis tail glow during reverse

To see the ground better at night, we have talked about a glow light under the bumper to help light up the rear wheels. Linked to the reverse light, it has a relay to the red tail lights to come on only when both the tail lights and the reverse is engaged.

This was done as YowCH sent the Isis back to Tong Lee Wee to fix the recently replaced right wing mirror motor, which apparently is spoilt again.

The row of LEDs are cheap China made, but waterproof. Supply and install at $38.00.
1. Cutting the LED strip and joining the power wires, then installing the lights under the bumper.

2. The relay switch, and the installed LED strip.

3. Here is the end result, there is a glow behind the rear wheel and visibility is better (particularly when reversing near open drains or slopes. Even the reverse cam is clearer as there is more light now.
