Brake light.

ok i need someway to make my brake lights in my project 79' bronco come on when i hit the brakes. if it comes down to it i will put a toggle switch in to turn them on but id rather just have them come on when i push the pedal.

how about installing the correct switch and wireing it correctly . then you dont have to worry about it again.

not the correct pedal assemble for the vehicle. its to complicated to explain. is there something that i might be able to put on the line that would detect presure and turn the lights on?

I'm confused as to what type project bronco, could you not just use the hand signal? I'm sure some type psi switch would work, just don't know anyone who has done it, and could be a weak link in the brake system if not designed/installed right. How about a button type switch mounted so when depressing the brake the bl's would come on (like the original) with a special bracket fabricated............

i think im just gonna go with a toggle switch. easier to make work. ive put too much work/money into this thing so far. reason that the switch doesnt work is because the original tranny was an auto. switched to a manual and the pedal assy. is out of a different vehicle.

my concern with the toggle switch would be in a quick situation of using the brakes, you'll not be able to warn the person behind you (reaction time reaching for manual switch)
