reverse lights as turn signal?

Is it possible to use the reverse lights as both reverse and turn signals for our civic? I'm thinking of having a bright white turn signal istead of the red one.

You'd either have to cut a hole in the reverse light chamber to mount the blinker bulb assembly, or do some "custom" wiring. I don't recommend either option. Maybe someone else has a better option...

Turn signals in the back have to be either red or amber I belive... If u get rear ended you may get blamed(for them rear ending you) for not have a red or amber one and that would suck . Just my two cents.

Pseudochrist is right. They have to be either red or amber. You'll get stopped by the cops real quick if you have white turn signals.

whether it's legal or not, it's his choice right... so just answer his question.. my suggestion would be to cut the turn signal wire n tap it into the reverse light.

Red corner turn signals are illegal...... turn signals in front corners can only be amber or yellow period.
Rear can be red or amber........ which ever

I'd like my brake lights to be the turn signals. Is THAT possible?
