this is not only illegal, it's immoral. Grow up. There is absolutely no reason to install such a device.

It's not hard; at least for the brake lights, a little harder for the taillights. A simple relay wired in-line to "open" the circuit when needed. The brakes are easy as the brake-light switch is located on the pedal. I'ld have to look for a good spot to intercept the tail lights.

Ah,er,, strictly for "off-road use" of course

that's the problem... in all road course racing environments (at least the ones I am familiar with) require working brake lights.

I don't believe this is legal in any state. If it is PM me with where it is. Til then I don't believe this thread is any better than a Street Racing thread and they are also locked.
