Decided to add reversing lights at the eleventh hour, only because i came up with an elegant solution just recently.
Built a one-way switch into the rear wheel hub. There is a friction collar around the wheel, which is free to rotate around it, but just tight enough to hold position.
Collar positioned without the wheel for clarity. When the car is pushed forward, the arm swings away from the switch. When pushed backwards, the arm pushes toward the switch, activating the lights automatically.
Shown assembled.
LEDs fitted to the rear light clusters. Everything has been built to allow disassembly, in the event of such modifications.
