I've written about this before, but I am again wondering if it is at all possible to install a backup lamp on my 23rd series. It DID NOT originally come with one (I'm still deciding whether or not I should put one on), but I am just wondering if it is even possible to do so, and if it is, how? Thanks!

There are also a couple of previous threads with some info.

Here is onehttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=5781&cid=52 The backup light was an option in a kit dealers could install. Max Merritt shows a couple of 23rd switches with brackets as being available -- different depending on the trans. So does Kanter. A wire would probably have to be run to the back although a slim chance it might be already included in the loom. Feed would be from ign switch. An original light assy might be harder to find. Kanter lists a backup light assy but doesn't say if original or a repro. He might even have a kit. I believe some aftermarket types would be available from various places if something like that would work.
