Default t-5 reverse light switch???

I did the t5 swap in my car about 10 years ago. Best thing i ever did. Anyway i have always had a toggle switch to turn the reverse lights on. How can i make it so they operate like a factory t5 car when the tranny is put in reverse?

2 wire switch on the top of the casing near the shifter.

If im not mistaken the power to the trans switch comes from the turn signal fuse, and the switch just completes a connection to the lights. If you have a ground to the bulbs , then just run a wire that is hot when key is on to the one wire on the switch and the other wire to the hot wire of the bulbs.
