I made one for mine but it was a loooong time ago maybe 1994.
I recall (if you remove the transmission tunnel) a tin plate that moved in a certain direction when reverse was selected. I used a simple door switch and a bracket to earth the circuit and operate the light.
Memory is very vague though...

Some series 3's already have the hole in the gear stick mounting for the switch to fit in (its basically the screw in brake light switch)

Either drill the bracket if the holes not there or look out for one with the hole already drilled

Then fit reversing light and wire up through switch ...job done

Mine certainly had one, but it was a CSW, so don't know if it was standard. From memory, mine had a switch that screwed through the plate that sticks up on the transfer box to cover the back of the gearbox selector space, and I'm sure that all the transfer boxes would be drilled and tapped for one. A quick look on Google images shows people fitting one to the steel bracket for the gear lever, but I think that the proper way is a lot quicker.
