Can I ask who will be making them / carrying them? How do you know it will be a few months?

Do you know if the is a European HUMMER BCM? Do you know where this BCM is located in the vehicle?

Here we typically mod the vehicles by

(1) removing the turn signal bulbs
(2) replacing the backup bulbs with amber
(3) running a splice from the original turn signals to the backup lights

Thus, the backup lights and the turn signals become amber (and emit through the same clear backup light lens). I HATE THIS MOD! However, it allows the vehicle to pass inspection.

Attached is a photo of an additional mod they do. The left is a backup light and the right is a rear fog light.
