 Hey DeanB, I too enjoy the luxury of the Audiovox CCS-100 cruise control.  I had it on my 85 with a 1.9, and of course transferred it to the Subie 2.2 conversion.  Love it.  Although, I still use the magnets on the rear axle and the pickup sensor thing, not like you with the fancy VSS.  No, I haven't converted brake lights to LED, but I'm always in favor of giving as much info to vehicle behind me as possible.

No...I don't have a solution for you.  But...I am all ears.  Of course the question will be:  did you add a resistor to make the whole brake light thing work?  I know this is kind of mandatory for blinkers.  The blinker device needs the proper resistance to not do the "fast blink".  But, we are talking brake lights here, not blinkers.
Anyway....I am all ears too.
