There is a thread on here on that. Believe the user name is on belay. You need a three Pole switch to do that. Why do you want them in when in reverse? Mine would blind anyone behind me when backing up. I turn mine on when I need them, when no one else is back there.

The title is completely off, but.......I just did this last weekend. I've attached my diagram. I have a switch on the dash for the lights but they also come on when the reverse circuit sends power down the line.

Three pole, double relays.....all that is non-sense. Mine are automatic or available when I flip the switch- no hassle.

I have my rear fog lights pointed downward and will not blind people.
