05 Cooper Tails (aftermarket)

Are there any good Aftermarket tails for the 05 with the reverse light in the housing? I see the other thread but not really any 05 aftermarkets.

TIA
Links if you got them

If you find any let us know. Seriously, the choices are limited in my experience. Most of the ones I've seen that *I* like do not have the reverse light in them and need to be used in conjunction with the reverse light add-on. See THIS THREAD (was this the one you meant?) for lots more options and a discussion of the reverse light add-on (I'm in the same boat that you are), but keep in mind that there are only a few choices out there for '05-'06 tails, and almost all are chrome/white look (which I personally hate). If you'r einto the whole white/chrome tail lights thing, just Google "MINI Cooper 2005 tail light" and you should get hits. Make sure that they're REALLY '05 tails though (lots of online retailers list them as 2005-2006 even though they lack the reverse lights).

If they lack the reverse lights, what do you do for back-up lights then?
