    This shows the difference, in reverse lights anyways, for those that asked. Like Meso said, pics don't really do it justice. The triton v6 is much brighter than stock.

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. Is there a kit that to use the Reverse with Turn signal (switchback bulb), and keep the other lights the way they are now?
    Meso is connecting the two lights for brake, which is ok. I may end up with the Meso kit if I can get it.

    If you do a switchback with no other changes, then you will have red and amber turn signals, right? So, if you happen to pump your brakes while using your turn signal, that is gonna be one helluva light show.

    Yes. It will be 2 lights for turn signal. With the brake, it will be identical to now plus one amber. That is what i want. i want the car behind me to know I am turning. and if I'm braking you can still see the amber indicating that i am turning. I like the other drivers not to be confused.

    IDK. I think you will be adding confusion with that scheme, but it is your truck.

    I'm currently running a prototype set from a while back using only incandescent bulbs. Stock bulbs in the red brake / tail area and 921NA ambers in the reverse position plus @mesojdm V4s in the mirrors. The full C brake light was important to me and the full amber turns have been stellar for me.

    I am another prototype user with incandescent bulbs. Unlike you I am FAR more concerned that the driver behind me know I am stopping than I am about any turning. with the full "C" stop, my tailgate bar, and the 3rd brake lite is is VERY clear that I am stopping. Which in my mind it +100 to safety.

    With that said, I am running amber bulbs in the reverse bucket as turn and I assure you, there is no doubt that I am turning in any one's mind. Adding the stock turn light as well would, in my opinion, confuse the situation. I also have sequential turns in my light bar.

    For me reverse is moved to bumper mounted single row LED pods. With my reverse lights on any doubt that I am backing should be removed from anyone not carrying a white cane and wearing dark shades at night.

    I am in big agreement with @mesojdm that more light is better, at least as far as turn, stop and reverse indicators go. If anyone was to claim after an accident that they did not know I was stopping, turning, or backing up they clearly were not looking in the direction of my truck.

    When he releases the stage 1's I will definitely be in the scramble to buy and MAY remove the bumper mounted pods. Time will tell.

    I posted pics earlier in this thread. I will edit in a link after I find them.

    Edit: Link to my pics post

    If your gonna do that, another option would be V6 Tritton ALL amber(non switchback) then run your bumper lights for dedicated reverse.
