The Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL211RB has two separate inputs on its rear surface, one for operating the red stop/turn/tail lights and another for the white reverse light. The stop/turn/tail light functions are carried on the red lens with red LEDs. The backup light uses a clear lens with white LEDs. Both lights operate independently so if you were backing up with your foot on the brake both the red and clear lenses would be illuminated.
