i thought that would be the cool part the brake light and PCM because you still have normal operation of the EBPV. well to each is own bro thanks for the info.

well i say that because my PCM thinks it needs to close that valve ALL THE TIME! it's annoying as hell. and a don't drive with my foot on the brake pedal. and i have a brand new EBP sensor and tube.

the one on the right looks like a push button. i had a pretty nice pannel on my 94 that covered the storage hole in the dash.

Yah i was thinking about doing that but i always use the cubby. I decided to make my own little switch panel and that’s kind of what i came up with. I’m going to put in a second row of switches above that switch panel for all my lights.

tips and tricks that i encountered doing this mod.
1. The wire from the 4 wires marked center high lamp feed that do not lead to anything are dead wires. i taped in to the wire harness right behind the master cylinder on the driver’s side above your feet. (GREEN WIRE) check to see if it has power only when the brake is applied.
2. The wires coming off of the EBPV on the plug to the pedestal were not the same color as the directions depicted. Black with a white stripe and yellow with a red stripe. the yellow with red is the one to tap.
3. install another diode in the power supply so you do not short out what you are taping in to for power.
