Light in bumper.

Hi, If I understand correctly, you are asking why is the light there? I remember specifically at the announcement meeting for the '69's, we were told that light was there to warn pedestrians that we were backing up. The concern being that if they were too close or too tall to see the regular backup lights. It was a safety feature.
