time delay relay would be your best option. there are several different types ranging in price.
i.e.: Time Delay Relay TDR
You can probably find one that will work for cheap on fleabay
i.e.: item 290717024598

I'm not sure if this one would work, but it looks to be for automotive applications. Directed 528T 12V Adjustable Pulse Timer with SPDT Relay Adjustable Timer New | eBay
There are several more here: 12 volt time delay relay | eBay
Are you wanting to interrupt all the reverse lights, or just the auxiliary ones?

Old thread, but I've been wondering...
Did you ever install the timer relay? If so, how's it been working? Improved light life?
I also got another thought from looking over the various timer relay options, and I think I want to install a timer relay "OFF" switch on my flasher circuit so I can pulse the switch arm up or down without clicking it into the "set" position and when I release it, the blinkers will turn themselves off after a couple of seconds... just for lane swapping purposes.
