well, I'm pretty sure they'd be street legal, and I guess they're rare judging by the fact I have never seen them before that I can really remember

I have seen all red tails on other cars where the reverse light has alternating clear and red strips, they are close enough together to give the appearance of red, however, when lit up it is a white light.

Not sure if those are the same though.
