I know you have to have it hooked up AFTER the prop. valve. But what about the lights? Too many damn wires to run. If I don't have to I'm not going to. Thanks.

Brake lights are wired through a switch attached to the brake pedel. You don't need brake lights to be NHRA legal but you need them to be street legal.

The only lights you need to be NHRA legal is a single tail light. A front headlight is recommended for night racing but is not manditory.

My regular brake lights work fine. They just don't come on when I turn on the line lock. Right on. That saves me some extra wiring I didn't want to do and buying a sensor for the line lock to wire to the brakes. Thanks.
