It looks as though they are fed from their own relay which is energised by the main beam circuit. And yes, they are driving lights.

They are driving lamps, only come one with full beam.

 

Reasons for them not working can be as simple as a blown fuse but the yellow plug for each one near the headlamps can also become corroded & stop them from working.

 

They should have their own seperate fuse #4 15A;

For the reversing lights, if the fuse is Ok, remove the plug from the gearbox (bear the clutch arm) & bridge the connector pins to seeifit comes on. They only work with the ignition on the second click iirc though.
