Looking to wire led reverse light up to existing trailer harness on 2018 Ranger wildtrak, does it have a reverse line in the harness?

Same here, a small led work light powered directly from the existing reverse light circuit. Been fine for 2 years.

I have 2 led lights glued to the towbar and powered from the stock reversing light wire.

Providing you don't draw too much power there shouldn't be any faults appear.

If for some reason you want lights that draw a lot of power you could use a relay then use the reversing light wire as a trigger.
