Ok hive mind.

Unfortunately, i have no idea where this is or how to get to it on your car.
I assume the other lights in the cluster work? Then you can be reasonably sure the earth connection is ok.
Switch is most likely the problem
Assuming you have two reverse lights and other lights are fine it's unlikely there's a bad earth only to both reverse lights. If other lights are acting up, try getting someone to indicate whilst pushing the brake and go through other light functions, look at the earth connections to the bulb and the lamp unit.
As MRS says, a multimeter makes tracing the fault much easier.

It's a write-off, mate. There's nothing we can do for you.
Have a chat with my colleague here. He'll fit you up right good and proper with a new motor.

Usually behind the rad and therefore exposed to airflow, moisture & crud.
Unplug, squirt with WD40, plug in, see what happens.
