Default Extra reverse lights, any idea guys?

recently i changed my tail light to altezza to improve rear end looks, because in my country Indonesia, i dont allowed to use red as turn signal colour.So i use reverse light place as a turn signal. and now i dont have a reverse light. Do anyone have picture where is a good place to put extra reverse light? thanks.

here is my rear end blazer looks:

these are my work lights/reverse lights



i use them mostly for work like when im backing up my trailer to disconnect it or connect it


I used them many times to pull people out of ditches also
and the other night i used them to swap someones alternator in a parking lot =P

they are hooked up to a switch and a relay

u could get a small set of 55w fog lights like 2" in diameter and mount them and tap them into ur back up light wires so theyl come on when put into reverse. i did that to mine and they work great, i also have a set of 5" 85w work lights for a semi on my toyota....u can see everything! lol

the European blazers had taillight housings with amber turn singles

i know what european tail lights look like, i have a set.
i was merely pointing out how we want those lights here, and there they want ours.

for the OP have you considered a light bar under the tail gate??

i put 2 white led strips under my tailgate that i got on ebay on my dually that had custom led strip tail lights in the tailgate
no pics of the set up though
but heres the back of the dually

here is my original tail light, i changed it to altezza to get identical look with front end, because the front headlight already converted into Diamond cut style, and its weird if i didnt change the rear end tail lights. thanks.

Yeah the US guys go nuts over euro spec lights. One of those things they can't easily have them so they want them.

I built my bumper but the process would be the same on a factory one. I got the lights and used a hole saw to cut it out.



Nice new lights btw
