Post 968 owners: question (taillights/reverse)

In the ongoing debate over painting 944 lenses, I started thinking about 968 rear ends and how they dont have any reverse lights, correct?
So what happens when you reverse, do any lights light up at all?
Just curious, thanks in advance...

968 have what they call "neutral density" tailamps, where the turn signal lamp and reverse lamps shine through the red tailamps as yellow and white respectively.

Of course there are reverse lights. The car wouldn't be DOT legal otherwise...that's why the tranny has a wire plugged into the back telling the reverse lights when to come on. It's basically the same cluster as the 944 so I wouldn't worry about painting 944 rear lenses red.
