 |
|
Gotta rig up a switch down by the brake pedal that activates the circuit to the brake light when I depress the brake pedal.
I know others have done this mod, anyone got any pictures or heads-up as to how they did theirs? Im working through it with some kind of bracket that holds a switch with a button.
Its probably best that the switch is open when the brake is not pressed? |
