I'm thinking I may have to run 2 switches. One N/O & one N/C.

Jim, if you can find a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) brake lite switch it has one NO and one NC contact with a common power source. OR even better, get a standard SPST brake lite switch, but power a SPDT Relay that gives you both a NO and NC output. No worries with over loading the switch, and you get both circuits covered with one device.

PS, I agree on the mechanical switch idea. My '33 has the pressure switch and I learned that the switch had failed when I nearly got hit from behind in fast traffic one afternoon... The '32 project has a mechanical switch from Speedway, feeding brite LED tail/brake lights.

You have a diagram for dummies? Showing this?
