finally got round to finishing my solution the other day.
Using the (IMHO) best bits of other peoples ideas and a couple of my own I have the following...
all red lenses (no pic)
twin fog lights
twin reverse lights..
driving lights
fog lights
indicators
reverse lights on
reverse lights off
reverse lights close up
the reverse lights are actually bright enough to let you see where you are going, which I didn't really expect.
And although it doesn't look like it in the pic the indicators are a bright orange colour.
well chuffed
