Reverse Light ???

I have a wig wag flasher kit laying around that i want to do something with. I was thinking about hooking it up to my reverse lights, only problem is, reverse lights only come on when in reverse.

Does anyone know a simple way to get power to my reverse lights without it being in reverse? Ill be adding a toggle switch to it also.

Id tap it into the wireing that runs to the lights. Thats what I Would think is the simplest. Then just toggle the control module. So the module would have a direct power source, instead of the source used to power the reverse lights.

keep the voltage at the light, and not back feeding in to the transmission range sensor
