Does the Changan Oshan X5 only have one reverse light?

"This model only has one reverse light illuminated. Currently, most vehicles are equipped with only one right-side reverse light, with a few exceptions having two. This is because when reversing, the driver's side visibility is largely unaffected. The brake lights and width marker lights provide sufficient visibility, but the passenger side visibility is less clear, hence the need for the white light from the reverse light to improve it. Here is some relevant information about the Changan Oshan X5: Exterior: The Oshan X5 adopts the boxy design commonly seen in SUVs, featuring straight body lines and a low, wide-body stance. Powertrain: The Oshan X5 is equipped with the Blue Core NE1.5T engine, the only one in its class with a dual-outlet cylinder head, integrated exhaust manifold, and twin-scroll electronically controlled turbocharger, delivering a maximum power of 132kW and a maximum torque of 300Nm, with a robust 180 horsepower. It is paired with a wet 7DCT automatic transmission, achieving a response time of 251ms and a comprehensive transmission efficiency of up to 94.5%."
I've studied many car light designs, and indeed the Changan Oshan X5 only has one reverse light. This is intentionally designed by the manufacturer. The position that looks like a light on the other side is actually the rear fog light. Many cars now handle taillights this way, mainly considering cost and practical usage. The brightness of a single reverse light is completely sufficient, providing visibility of over ten meters behind when reversing at night. If you feel the illumination range is insufficient while parking, I recommend replacing it with a brighter reverse light bulb for better effect.
