General Reverse Beeper

[ben]

Is there an easy way to fit some sort of beeper which activates when I put the van in reverse?

I'm guessing it could be wired to the reverse lights in some way?

I've almost run over a few people so far, so would like to get something set up sharpish

Have a look at my approach:

You can buy a bulb with a built in beeper.
My Doblo came with one fitted .
Just swop bulbs.

Check them out on eBay.

Are they any good? Quite loud?

Seems the easiest way around it

Thanks never came across those before, the beeper on our van is embarassingly loud looks like a quick fix.

So basically just order one of these?

Would just one be ok, or better to get 2?

i'd pay a bit extra and get one from http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/Reversing-Alarm-Bulb.html?bulb_search=c5647 good after sales service if it goes wrong

 

[ben]

Not sure it's worth the extra though - it's going to be the same thing....

These dont sound very loud if you are in the van but from the outside they are plenty loud enough.I'd stick with the cheap one too.
