Did you get this figured out yet? It may not really be a problem to have running lights come on with reverse lights. Are the reverse lights LED too? I had a wild thought that perhaps the LED tail lights share a ground with the reverse lights and perhaps a little current is coming to them through the ground connection?? Just a thought...
