I ripped off one user's idea from another thread and picked up a pair of Trail Tech 040-LS-B push buttons from Amazon. They're small, waterproof, and should blend in easily with the trunk interior. One will control show mode, one will control power to the pink wire that goes to the Technostalgia harness. Technostalgia claims this pink wire that you connect to the positive battery terminal is only used to provide power for show mode, but it actually powers a controller that drives the LED arrays in general, meaning if you disconnected it, the lights don't function but there also won't be any battery drain.
On a side note: The lights that don't support show mode or sequential turning should't have this issue. I don't believe there's any separate harness to install for those, and they only draw power directly from the tail lamp bulb connectors. But I think the vast majority of people want the sequential turn signal. :P

fyi... a friend of mine has his battery tender attached under the hood to the remote postive & negative terminals.
