I think it is indeed going to be technically feasable although illegal. But so long as when you select reverse it doesn't look like the flash from a nuclear detonation no one will bother you.

Personally i'd put the work lights on a seperate switch and a battery feed rather than on the reverse light. Firstly so if you use your reverse lights next to a traffic car you don't draw their attention but secondly so that you can use your work lights without the need to have the ignition on and the car in reverse.

I'm just going to wire them separately from the reverse circuit all together .

I have a blank switch so I will install a new switch on the blank space and take feed from a spare fuse somewhere or direct from the battery and install a fuse down there .

I only intend using them when I am at the back of the vehicle getting changed into my waders and getting set up at the fishing .Or if I am reversing in the total darkness up some forest road or offroad completely .

I also plan to upgrade my interior lights to the cree LED bulbs - I see them on ebay . 2006 DEFENDER 90 TD5 CSW XS

I fitted the Mud interior LED light units front and rear in my 110 and they are fantastic. I was so impressed that I fitted three more into my Disco 2.

I think in the current situation then a) you would have to be very unlucky to actually find yourself parked next to a police car, let alone a traffic car and b) any of the few police officers still employed would be so busy that a none standard reversing light would be the least of their concerns even if they knew the relevant legislation.

Busy eating burgers probably.

I have 2 x Labcraft lights as per the pic.
ISTR I paid about £70 a piece & they are excellent. May your life be like toilet paper ; long & useful.
