The reversing light globes are probably 18watt each
If you replace them with LED bulbs then you can fit LED reversing lights to a total of 36watts with no worries and won't require a relay, just splice off the positive to the existing bulbs.
I've always fitted relays and used cheap spot lights similar to the above, but will try some LED's soon , time will tell if the LED's last

I have a series III gu and I'm also looking at some extra reverse lights. Now I have never touched anything electrical in any car so please excuse my potential dumbness.
In the above posts it refers to a relay, would one be needed if using LED lights?
