Welcome to the forum!!! Thinking about a Sky? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the single unit in the rear valence cutout?

Thanks. That whole retreat/reverse thing's kinda foreign. I'm typically in the car, not behind it during those times.

Oh how right you are if you have an automatic; the transmission is French.

For those that rarely look at the back end, hope this helps. However, some of us can't help but noticing a nice "rear end"

This is a good test to see who washes their own car by hand.

And another way to tell where the back up light is located?
METHOD ONE
1:find a storefront with a large front window at a mall near where you live, (or where you drive your Sky).
2:wait for it to get dark.(happens every night,you will know when it happens)
3:get parked a short distance from the storefront,nothing between your Sky and the storefront.
4:put your sky in reverse.slowly start backing up.
5: if your reverse light is working,you should be able to see it reflected from the storefront window in your rear view mirror.
METHOD TWO
first 4 steps........same as METHOD ONE
5:after Sky starts moving backwards,exit car,run behind(fast as you can!)
then look for the back up light.
return to the driver's seat(also fast as you can).
I would recomend METHOD ONE.
to be SURE,ask at the forum.
I hope you take this as a little funny,I really am not picking on you,Welcome.
the back up light is in the low center center of car in the back.

I gotta admit, when I first saw how the reverse light was set up, that was one of clinchers for me to buy it.

Personally, I think they should start putting the rear fog light on cars this side of the pond. HID would also be good for the Red Lines and other top of the line models since they use far less energy than halogen and last longer.
