[Roadsters] Kluge brakelight switch

[Eddie]

When I was a kid I rigged a toggle switch into my brake light circuit so 
I could shut the brake lights off. 

now, I'm sure some are wondering why one would want to do that, right?

Let me give you a scenario.

You're flying down the road at night, and pass a cop who's gunning for 
speeders.

Around the next bend, you shut all your lights off, including the 
brakes, then slam on the brakes and pull into a driveway where you duck 
down below seat level.  Seconds later, a cop flies by you lights 
flashing as he's chasing that speeder he just tagged on radar....

Not saying I ever DID that... LMAO....
