Reverce light wire in the cab?

I'm looking for a place to a signal for reverce lights in the cab of the truck to wire to a 3 position switch for some rear mounted flood lights. I will be using the switch to run a relay with a on,off,auto option. I am more than proficient with wireing but I still need to find a signal wire and I don't want to spend hours testing wires to find what I need.

I did something like this. Wired up my rear LED flood light to the reverse lights, and wired them up to a switch so I can manually turn them on. They work great and all. But i noticed that when I turn them on while driving forward, off road, the transmission turns off overdrive. Like the OD OFF light doesn't come on on the dash, but i know it turned OD off due to the higher rpms and that. Is this normal? Thanks for any input!!

Well I'm lucky becaus I have a 5 Speed and will be switching to manual hubs. Alot of vehicles cut out over drive when 4x4 is on

Where did you tap your reverse and your 12v?

Mine does the exact same thing. It's freaky
