How about taking a 1 foot long piece of aluminum foil and covering the rear
tail light assembly with half the foil and leave the other half sticking out
to the side at an angle? This way you can see which bulb lit up without
getting out of the cab.

That should be all you need to do. That's the way I've always tested
back-up lights, switch the key to run, if it's a manual tranny just put it
in reverse, an automatic, set the parking brake and put it in reverse (wow,
in typing that it sounds really backwards, setting the brake with an auto
but not a manual) then walk around the vehicle, and they light. If they
don't the bulbs/fuse/relay need replacing.
Later,
