This might sounda bit daft. Has anyone thought about adding some 21W clear lights on the black of the car on the bit near the exhaust for revercing lights, then we could have two of them and then convert the old revercing light into a second rear fog light? There has to be something on the market that would fit and look good.

adding led strips into the reflectors will be the way forward
have a look at these clips
it will give you an idea of what is possible

and this is a very handy clip showing how he got the led
lights into the reflectors
pluss the reflector retro fit projector head lights he did also.

what they have done is too fit led strips inside the reflectors
so if you wanted duel reverse lights
buy a left hand drive tail gate light unit that will have the clear lenses so both sides will be clear
then run wires from the reverse light to the other side were the fog was
this will then give you two reverse lights up top
then run the wires from the fog lights to the led reflectors
so they act as the fogs



100% this will give you error messages
mot issues maybe
but it should work

or you could make the led reflectors as extra brake lights
as many internationals have done.
by taking power from the third brake light and taking it too the led reflectors.
