How many have back up lights on their cars, and if you do is it ran of off a toggle switch or the shift lever.

What the heck for? The back of the car is 1.25' away from your head if you look backwards. If you can't see this far you have bigger problems.

Put it in neutral, rev your engine. Now that you've got everyones attention...... back up. No problem.

Safety first. Been to too many car shows with loose dogs and wandering kids and gearheads crawling around my quick-change IRS. Don't want anyone to get hurt. Maybe part of getting old; I'm a lot more careful than I was 20 years ago.
Smart thinking as for safety, never worth running anything or anybody over, the light will at least tell folks that you are in reverse.
hooked to the shifter safety switch, there is a place for the backup light...

Well, for what its worth, I have a microswitch on the shifter, when the lever is in reverse, 2 really small LEDS light up. The old forktruck at the shop, the backup alarm started going....wasn't loud anymore,I replaced it with a new loud one. However, the one one off the forklift kinda sounds like a old man moaning after a 3 day drunk, sounds pretty cool, so I wired it up. Everyone stares and starts laughing when I back up, because it sounds so unusual.
I just grin really big, floor it and I'm gone! Got a harness for my dog so she won't go flying outta the car!
