From the Workshop manual available for free download in the WIKI....

Looks like left rear lamp reversing signal is grey with a brown tracer and the right lamp is grey with violet tracer....

You in theory have a reverse light cable behind the rear bumper on the towing connectors where you would plug in the towing electric kit. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Hi thanks, I have the pull off panel, which is where I plan on putting the light but don't have a towbar. I haven't looked as yet but are you saying the wiring would be there incase I wanted a towbar ? If so what colour would I use ? Cheers

Yes the wiring should be there clipped up behind the crash bar.

In terms of wire colour that’s more tricky. Might be a case of testing which goes live when you engage reverse. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Thanks. Looked inside today and there is two connectors which I assume are for the towbar harness. As you say will look to see which was works when reverse is engaged.

Just had a look. Thought I might have the old towing wiring I just swapped out as the socket was broken. But it looks like I chucked it out.

Reverse is only on the 13 pin or 12S sockets. So if you are looking to pick up some connectors have a look on the bay for those. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
