I've done this before, but not on a Bonne - Try putting 3157'* in the 3057 socket. The plug will usually hit both contacts, so that you get 2 filament lit up for the price of one.
Or, you could bridge the two 3157 contacts with just the tiniest bit of solder, creating one contact for both filaments.

On the how long will he be in reverse...uh..this is Andrew we are talking about. Never know if he may take a vid of the backup lights etc and have them on for a while.

I suggest getting a set of 15 dollar fog lights at napa or similar and tucking them up under the bumper but far enough back they they will shine out behind the car.
