Honestly, I don't think the reverse lights were (or were not) placed in any given place due to crash standards. What would be the point of that? To not break your lights? Every rear end collision over 10-15 mph that I've ever seen has busted a tail light at the least. They were moved to make them A) more visible, and B) probably to keep them from melting from the exhaust heat. This placement would be fine for aftermarket (I mean, tail light blackouts are illegal on a production car, but lots of people put them on afterwards), especially if you moved the mufflers, but theres no way they could do it stock. Plus, I like the original light placement (Although this does clean up the bumper. I wouldn't take the time to do it though).
