Default All red tail lights. Is there a white reverse indicator?

Just as it says. The 968 appears to have all red tali light lenses. The 951 has a clear lenses with yellow and red.
When you put a 968 in reverse, how do people know that you are attempting to back up? Is it somehow transparent over the reverse indicator bulb?
TIA.

Elliott, it still shows up as white light. It has to by DOT regulations.

The reverse light lenses has a very thin layer of red in strips going vertically across the lenses. The lenses behind that red portion are regular white. The turn signals show up yellow also.

If you see one up close you will get what im talking about.

Default you can sort of see it in this pic

Not the best pic, but you can sort of see the red vertical stripes in the upper right of the lens. The same holds true of the turn signal, except the stripes run horizontal, I believe.
