[DeTomaso] back-up lights

I've been meaning to send this out:  I saw a post on the forum which 
indicated in order for the back-up lights to work, the car's lights have to 
be on.

I am confirming that on my early '72 this is, in fact, the case.  I was 
frustrated that after putting a new back-up light switch in, the back up 
lights didn't seem to work.  After seeing that note on the forum, I tried 
putting the car in reverse with my lights on, and the back-up lights work 
perfectly.

Sometime when I'm done with all the other things I want to do to my car, 
I'll probably run a wire to the back-up light switch that's hot whenever the 
car is on so they'll work during the day.
