I suppose I need to clarify myself more.

My reverse lights were rewired for some mysterious reason, and I am
attempting to rewire them myself. The reverse switch on the tranny is in
good working order, so currently I have installed a fuse block that has one
connector wired to the reverse switch and the other side of the connector
wired to both lights. I simply am lacking a good power connector to power
them. I am also looking for a power that is only one when the key is in the
ignition.

Thanks again,
Matthew
