The dim rear light that you are refering to, is called the "running" light, and, yes, my running light is on when running. You might have a filiment burnt out in yours. (Hopefully that is all that it is.)

Any 12v 30 amp automotive relay should work for this, most places sell them as replacement units for auxillary lighting kits. They only draw a couple milliamps to operate, so wiring the trigger to the reverse LED should work fine. You'll have to spend some time with a multimeter under your dash to find the wire that triggers that LED.

I just rigged up a work light for the rear rack for plowing. I ordered an $8.00 35 watt 4 1/2" round light from Northern tool. $6.00 shipping
It took about an hour and a half to mount and wire.
It doesn't draw much so i used a standard toggle switch and tapped power from the accesory port on the pod, the smaller of the two wires. You need the ignition on so i won't walk away in the day light with it left on. The ground is made through the mounting bracket.
You won't spotlight deer but it really lights up enough to see what i'm plowing.
