For now I'm staying in military/euro mode. Too much going on to take the module apart right now.

My brake light switches arrived this morning. I had a hell of a time figuring out how to get to the one closest to the nose of the bus. I eventually used a deep well 22mm socket and with an extension and came up from beneath. I have read that if one has nimble fingers only a few drops will spill. Of course that statement assumes that the threads on the new switch are not boogered up (that's a technical term). I quickly grabbed the second of the new switches and it screwed right in. Turns out there was a small nick on the threads on the first one I tried. I cleaned up the threads and used it in the aft switch, no problem. Now I have normal brake lights!

Now, I'll search the archives for third brake light setups, but does anyone have a favorite third brake light? Preferably easy to install and to wire up?

TIA,

Warren in Santa Fe (but on euro time).
