It needs to be 21W equivalent.

Change the reflectors in the bumper to the Carlab designs units & hard wire them into the car. Then convert your clear cluster to an extra reverse light.

I thought cars were only supposed to have one rear foglight, so as to not get them mixed up with brake lights? Or has that changed?

Not a legal requirement but as long as they are a matched pair that's fine or central or offside positioning.

The Road Vehicles Lighting Regulations 1989
Where two rear fog lamps are fitted to a motor vehicle first used on or after 1st April 1986 or to a trailer manufactured on or after 1st October 1985 they shall form a matched pair.
