Formula Taillight mod

Anyone ever try to put a second bulb in the orange turn signal lens closer to the reverse lights.

Yes, I've got a set of taillights lying around that have had this done to them, if I can find them and light them up I'll take some pics, though if i remember correctly it wasn't very good.

Sorry, cant find my camera, found the taillights though. It doesnt light the bulbs up evenly, the inside one is a lot brighter than the outside, though it may be because of shitty wiring, the car the lights came off was converted to right hand drive by morons, and the wiring is a mess.

The only mod is someone fed a holesaw into the back of it.

To do it properly, you will have to take the lens off and dremel out the plastic divider that is in the indicator closer to the reverse light, the person who did this didn't remove the divider so only 2/3rds of the inner light lights up.

I'm sorry, I cannot light it up just yet as I dont have any bulbs with wires lying around. I've got a taillight wiring loom lying around my bench at work, I'll bring that home and see if I can light it up for ya.
