Musky--

I took your idea and ran with it...hopefully I won't screw it up!

I just picked this up on eBay for $26...now I SHOULD be able to control two sets of lights with one switch--the passing lamps AND the LEDs I hope to install...some day...



Gonna see how well it will fit on the left hand side.

Cool! Keep us updated.

When you start marketing them I'll expect 10 % for being the idea man

Just thought of something, though...the starter switch is just a single pole contact switch, not a two position rocker, Dammit! I foiled my own plans...again!

Hmmm...maybe I can set it up so the run/kill switch is the on/off for the passing lamps, and the starter switch will be just used to flash them on & off. Yeah, that's the ticket!

That's what I was thinking of. Don't try and screw me out of my 10%


I quote from my prervious post- "Instead of rocking a switch how about a temporary contact switch (like a horn button) hooked up to a turn signal flasher. Hold the button down and the lights blink. Let go and they stop"

Damn, Musky...you're up to 12% for that one!
