Default reverse light amps ??

Does anyone know how much amperage the reverse lights draw ?

I am looking to install a 12V LED aux. reverse light that draws 1.14 amps.

I would like to just tap into the stock wiring for power and activation.

Thanks !!

I installed a single Rigid Industries Dually LED on my rear bumper over the weekend and tapped directly into the reverse light wiring in the taillight above it - no problems so far. This light is rated to pull 15 watts, which I think is about the same range as the one you're looking at. It easily remedied my dissatisfaction with the stock backup lights.
