The AD Panel truck/ #9 Chevy style taillights that can be bought from a number of vendors repro or on Ebay

You can get them all chrome https://www.ebay.com/itm/351863644239

Or painted/able https://www.ebay.com/itm/35184190131...Cclp%3A2047675

They aren't the cheapest alternative but they do look right on 47/59 stepsides and the unknowing might not spot them as not being original. On that Tan TF I did a bit of a double take as they just look like they belong there.

As I mentioned earler I have a pair of driving lights like the clear ones in the last photo that I had on something way back when in a box in the shed that I've always thought would make decent backup lights on one of my rigs and can be tucked away just out of sight but light up the world behind you when you go to back up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/18564379752...Bk9SR9aZg8SRYQ

That would be real easy if you were running a stock bumper and no filler panel or roll pan.
