In my Mini Days I had a boot lid mounted Amber Fog Lamp as a reversing light - connected via a relay activated when reverse engaged via existing lamp wiring. Just power to lamp was on separate feed. Simple dash switch to break the earth to the solenoid so for MoT it was classed as an off item only - label on dash said off road lamp.

Modern reversing lamps seem to be aimed at telling other motorists you have reverse selected - not designed to actually help you see any better when reversing.
