We sold these when I worked at Advance Auto Parts, I had them on my 68 chevy and the worked really well. 50 watt output, I think that we used to sell them for about $5 each, but I am not sure, this was about 5 years ago.

lowes does sell a plug and play backup light fixture it plugs into your large round trailer light plug it works either with your backup lights or turn the body of the light to use with your parking lights for a working light cost me 25.00 dollars and about 1 minute to install it

It is the terminal in center of camper connector that operates backup lights only when in reverse. It is on my 07' will be same on yours.

Let us know how this works out. I've been wanting to add a reverse light to my trailer because I can't see anything when I back up in the driveway at night. Was going to mount a fog lamp on the back of the trailer, but want it tied into the reverse lites instead of having a switch.
