Cargo and reverse light merging question..

[Mclovin]

So I have a question for you electrical gurus.. I see posts all over about the cargo lights on with reverse using a diode. I see boost even sells a kit.. I'd like to have my cargo lights come on in reverse but also have my reverse come on when I turn the cargo on.. can I just go the same route splicing wires at the BCM but use a wire instead of a diode ? Will this damage anything back feeding the reverse signal like that ?

Jumper the two with a 18-gauge SOLID wire, shoved down along side each pin.  Brown26-Pink26. Pink actually has 27.  Picture is from my 2015.

Other two diodes, Fogs with HIGHs and Puddle lights with doors.  I'm sure that there was a better way to do the Puddle lights jumper, because if I turned on the interior lights to find something that somebody dropped, puddles would come on too.

 

PS: With the jumper for Cargo Lights with Reverse, your cargo light switch will light up, too.
