its all in the manual 
link below
but, yes, you do need one. has to be either automatically switched on when reverse is selected (not really practical on a electric reverse system) or
come on with a switch, in which case it MUST have a tell tale warning light

Why is it not practical? Take the feed for the light from the same switch as the reverse. Seperate switch is just complicating things (additional
switch and warning light to wire up).

reverse light is easy on the electric reverse
just power it from the the 12v trigger to the solenoid for the starter motor
so when u press the button to engage reverse it comes on
problem solved

I've mounted a micro switch under the lever, i'll grab a pic when I can.
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.
