Somebody else wrote that stuff in response to what I said.  Please keep your
authors clear.  I didn't suggest cutting into the existing brake system.
That would be considerably more dangerous than putting a switch in parallel
with the one which already activates the brake lights.  The consequence of
a failure of a parallel switch or your wiring technique would be A) brake lights
are on all the time or B) magic switch doesn't work.

The consequence of a failure of a switch in series with the brake light
switch is no brake lights.  This could occur an unpredictable amount of
hours after installing the mod.
