    Yes, actually a pair of them. They do a pretty good job when loaded like this, or bobtail to help see back there at night. Actually just put new clear lenses on when I got it because the PO swapped them to purple, & I didn't like that..

    Better than nothing, but I definitely want to be legal. Maybe I'll get some jeep style tail lights with a reverse built in. If I can't get it to work off the transmission switch, I'll just wire up a toggle..

    That's typical FMCSA reulmaking stupidity too. What good does a backup light do when you are hooked up to a trailer?
