Please let me know how you get on with this as I haven't had reverse lights on mine ever since I got the clutch changed almost a year ago! I'm guessing a switch was left unplugged somewhere.
I completely forgot about them at MOT time but my Jimny still passed. The tester told me that they aren't tested.
It will most likely be the switch. Take the plug off the switch and connect the wires to see if the light comes on. The ignition has to be on obviously and you might have to get a bit of wire and put two blade connectors on to join the wires together via it.
That will tell you that it is the switch if by connecting the wires the lights work as that is the only part you have taken out of the system.

According to the wiring diagram it should have a 10A one, depending on vin either: No 20 'TURN BACK' or No 42 'BACK' and other than that its just the switch. both bulb are earthed independently
