For those listers who HAVE NOT heard of "follow me lights", they are
infrared or low-intensity visible spectrum light marker lights that
are used in blackout lighting conditions for vehicle convoys at night.
In the case of the CUCV, they are rectangular lights with potted LEDs
about 3" long by maybe an inch tall that mount in holes in the rear
bumper (and smaller ones in the front too).

Oh, CONVOY lights. Sounds awfully high-tech.
How about just painting your rear diff white at the back and lighting it with a
shrouded lamp equal to, and not more than, one glow-worm; in the case of armour
or the like just paint a small white square beneath any overhang and light
similarly; just in case any of you are still wondering why our trucks, to this
day, have a white rear "pumpkin" as it is called across the water.
