I'd like to install driving lights for back up lights. I'd like for them to work off of the reverse lights but also work with a switch that only works when ignition is in on position. Where can I pick up power for this

I installed my lamps on the frame on my 2000 Ranger and powered them from the battery with a fused line.

I fed the power through an automotive relay and used the existing reverse lamp feed to pick the relay. I mounted the relay behind the tail lamp.
