Post Back up lights

I have a 71 that originally had a three speed 6 cylinder and I have changed over to a v8 automatic. My backup light have never worked but they came on two nights ago when I turn my head lights on. I have put new wiring harness to the back last year. What has makes the backup light come on when I turn on my head lights?

Interesting, check the harness (the one you may have just replaced) that runs down the chassis. I wonder if the light green (back up) and brown(running lights) have worn through and the brown is now feeding the light green.
That is the only thing I can think of. While it could be a bad ground, it doesn't quite sound like it. You could ground the drivers side bulb socket or even the light bucket to quickly check for that.

Need to pick up the one ton Longhorn with a PONTIAC 350/350soon.
Thanks every one!
