My new idea for the placement of additional rear lights. I made aluminum rings that were similar to the front fogs.

I like the idea. But not the application. Dont mix the colors. Add another set of different color if you need two colors.

Why two colors? They come on together, don't they?

If you have them wired independent I can understand the red, to reduce eye fatigue..

What's the plan?

Absolutely agree. This is my big dilemma. I need a red light (fog light) and one white (extra reverse). Both lights independently.
Lights in the middle of my spare canceled (not even in the picture).
I tried to put a red bulb in the clear light bulb but makes red shade. No change in design.

How often would you use the red light? If it is a limited use item, maybe you can leave both lights white for backup use and have some form of red overlay that you apply manually... The lights came out great and I would use two whites and mount the fog someplace else.. Maybe a small one under the bumper..

Often not, CZ is not foggy England but occasionally police checks on the car if it's ok. Especially in Germany or Austria. These countries do not like American vehicles. But I have a solution! Red lamp I replace with white in it and I put LED bulb that lights up red. Does not red shadow when the lights went out, and both look white.

Probably a good solution. It just needs some balance.
