Brake warning light question

You could use the oil light for alternator, but using for a reverse light is more of a trick. This might require a relay. For me, not worth the trouble.

The original reverse light has one wire and a grounded socket

Both the brake and oil lamps have power to one side and a grounding wire which goes to the oil / brake switches.

Ah. I see. The reverse light wires are are hot when engaged. So it would be easier to just add a bulb somewhere. Thanks.
