In order for a line lock to be street legal, the brake lights need to come on when the line lock is activated. 99% of people don't bother because they only use their truck at the track. However, I like to remain within the bounds of the law. I have just enough crappy luck to have a cop pull me over and check that my line lock was wired up 100% legit.

The directions supplied by Hurst are okay.....if you own a pre-computer era vehicle. Their wiring for the brake lights is incredibly basic. Wiring for the truck is a little more complicated, so I did a ton of research and drew out a diagram.

The diode on the plunger switch line is required to prevent the line lock from activating every time you turn on the brake lights by hitting the brakes. As amusing as that would be to watch from a distance, it would suck at 50 mph.

Hopefully that answered your questions. Let me know if you have others.

The LED switches were sent to me by a friend in the UK. The company doesn't ship to the US, so I had to call in a favor.

The switch covers came from MPJA.com:
http://www.mpja.com/prodinfo.asp?number=16105+SW
They are basic phenolic covers. If you want the kickass ones you'll have to go someplace like a military plane graveyard (where I got my first ever covers...heh heh).

The nice thing about the MPJA covers is that they come in a ton of colors (red, green, yellow, purple, blue) *and* clear and chrome! The only one missing is white.

Yeah....but down there you can yell "ROLL TIDE, ROLL!" and receive a round of drinks.
Do that up here and people will say, "Laundry detergent is in aisle 12".


BTW- It's "were". I don't do DIY articles for this site anymore.
