Reverse lights

[Bamaridge]

Has anyone backed their new ridge up at night? Can I tie the reverse lights to the backup beeper or is the Ridge designed like the Mule Pro? Sure would be nice to have a simple plug and play from Kawasaki. I don’t need a beeper. I need to be able to see!

I didn't see a backup light specifically listed, but I didn't find a full street-legal light kit from WD Electronics. I bet they could help you out with a reverse light solution.

Kawasaki doesn't offer a factory backup light, but I did find a backup camera that could be handy.

I sure wish Kawasaki would consider making a plug and play harness to back up lights. Seems to be an easy enough design to make it available through the beeper wires. I don’t mind making up a harness but that shouldn’t be how back up lights work when the machine has a Reverse. They didn’t make many places to even add them but this has been a topic on the mule forum since 2015 at least. Guess they don’t care about these threads and what people are saying they want.

None of the manufacturers do it, to my knowledge, and I don't understand why. I need one on my Defender, and it's more of a pain to install than it should be.

I agree

Just installed a rear bumper and added flush mount black out rear pods so I can see at night. The center of the floor comes out so the install was fairly easy. Also added the wiring harness for the ABI utv dump trailer so I can get back to using it for what I need.
