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).
