 For whatever it's worth, the L594 backup lights on my old Mk3 Spitfire were
some of the best backup lights I've ever had on a car, as they used a
single-filament "flasher" bulb rather than the smaller and dimmer "tail" or
"sidelamp" bulb.

Since they were not original on a TR4 I suppose you can put them
anywhere you please.  There is a TR4 on eBay at the moment that has a
pair of them mounted, using the familiar Lucas clear sidelamps (3rd
photo).

I wouldn't bother & not sure how much light they throw (sidelamps are
probably designed for 'being seen' rather than 'seeing') but the
installation locations are limited on a '4 and these don't look too
out of place.
