Looking for info on placement of the back up lights for my 48 Land Cruiser. Saw a post on the forum saying 7" from the bottom for a '50 Studebaker posted in 2006. That thread also mentioned the switch was mounted on the steering column; does that hold true for my '48? Sounded like there were instructions for installation that had a link, but found no link. Updated to 12v system. Do I need a reducer for the switch or 12v bulbs good enough? Having Lark Works make the cables for me to the '49 specs. Hope this works. Would appreciate any help.

A switch doesn't care what voltage it's passing. The original will be fine.

Although mine is a Champion, it should be the same for Land Cruiser. I can't remember if this was factory installed, or dealer installed, but this is the correct light for 47-49 cars. The center of the hole for mine is about 2 1/4" from the bottom.
Or just put it where you like it or where it looks best.KURTRUK
