Brake Light Improvement

I finally took the big step yesterday, I dug out my MGB Electrical Systems manual and did the brake light relay project. First let me say it was not that difficult and secondly I would like to say the change was amazing. The brake lights are probably 50% brighter making this a very worth while project. Will this stop a soccer mom on a cell phone fron rear ending me? Probably not but at least no one can say they didn't see me.

Basically its not difficult some wire, connectors, amd one of the generic Bosch relay from any parts store. probably about $20 bucks in parts. If you want to try the project PM me and I'l send you the diagram.
