I have one on my '47 but don't have the switch mechanism or bracket that attaches to the steering column down by the shift levers so the light only goes on in reverse. I believe there is a diagram of one in the 46-50 service manual overdrive section as the switch also served to lockout the Overdrive when in reverse. Maybe your car if equipped with overdrive has the switch and bracket already and all you will need if a power wire? If you don't have one of those you might use a toggle under the dash etc.

P.S. HH56 beat me to it! Gosh he's fast!
