Sorry BruggyMonster, i have been ignoring this thread cause i thought you were still on the first topic. But I do have a comment on the rear light wiring (from two months ago, wow) If you want to prevent your reverse lights from coming on with the switch, you could wire it just a bit differently. Add a diode on the line from the reverse light (1N4001 should work)
If soldering diodes isnt your thing, Leave the reverse signal for the coil (85 and 86 to ground), wire +12v to 87, the lights to 30, and your switch to 87A. This now requires the switch to take the load of the lights, but with LEDs these days, its no trouble.

Edit: The 1N4001 can only handle 1A, here are some other options.
(1N5401 3.5A), (SR540 5A), There are also automotive type diodes that look like blade fuses.
I am going to be honest and say that I have very little knowledge about wiring things besides just typical negative goes to negative and positive goes to positive. haha
