Re: First in the World .. to change the Retrocode !!!!

full red would be illegal (in the UK at least) and would surley make it harder to see when reversing at night. Not to mention that no one would know you are in reverse and thats massive potential for a smash that would be your fault. Nice idea though. You could do full white with a red fog lamp bulb, that would be perfectly legal and look a bit better.

yes and given how poor the average persons depth perception and spacial awareness is,i would like to warn them my car is travelling backwards
plus the white light is to hep reversing in the dark

As long as it had a red bulb it would be ok.

Ah, but i said put a red bulb in! Then it would be legal. But i refuse to believe having no reverse light is legal, if its not it should be!
