I know the Audiovox cruise control uses the brake light as an "off"
switch, and tests the resistance of the brake light circuit to make sure
the bulb'll light up.  If you use LEDs with the Audiovox, the cruise
control won't come on, as it can't see when to turn off.  If that's the
problem, you can put a resistor inline with the bulb, or install a
separate "off" switch at the brake pedal.
