Some vehicles have inner and outer rear lights due to the split between the boot and the body. Other things to consider are the configuration of the lights you are looking for. Do you require a smoked light, non-smoked? Clear indicator? Amber indicator? Some vehicles have reverse lights built into the rear lamps and some have them separately located in the bumper. As well as the main braking tail lamp, we sell reflector and reverse lamps.
