Another Backup Light Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is there a relay for the backup lights? Because what my problem is, is that I have swapped the original column for a tilt and the switches were different so I had to hook up the backup lights to a toggle switch, so when I flip it they come on. But the problem is when I turn them on they will only stay on for a short amount of time before they shut off, and when they shut off they cause all of the dash lights to dim down, I can flip the switch off and the dash lights return to normal. Then if I turn the switch back on they will not come on only cause my dash to dim, If I wait quite a while and try to turn the switch back on the backup lights light up? Any suggestions?
