Could you explain which color wire go to which lights? I might not want all of them with switches depending on how it turns out. Do any of those kill the brake lights?

There are 2 yellows, one for the left side, and one for the little center light in the Spoiler. The brown goes to all the Marker/running lights, and the green is the right side. You have to have all 4 switches to completely kill the rear lights, there is 4 different circuits, and you can't cross or combine any of them.

Closest I had to this was on my 83 z28, my wire for the brake light circuit had fallen out of the fuse box, I wired it to my stereo amp for power and had a switch in line, so I could turn my brake lights off.

So I guess the ultimate combo would to kill only the brake lights and get some NVG's.
I heard that a long time ago some guy driving a black T/A in FL would do top speed runs while wearing NVG's, I heard the cops couldn't figure out what was flying by them.

Gotta suck for you Merv, your car is freaking RED!!

lol,sounds like an urban legend,if i saw a car with no lights on,i would flash my lights at him for sure,imagine wearing NVG and getting lights flashed directly in them.

you could however get a monitor type radio and put a IR camera up front that sees at night.i have actually thought about doing this,in my f150 i have a pioneer flip out and a rear IR camera for backing up.In my camaro i have the JVC with the little 3" screen and a camera input for it as well.but,i dont plan on having to run from the police any time soon.

It's red in the day time, but night time if I am far enough ahead, and with my Tail lights off, I am dark and gone...

That's good..lol Switch down is power off too.. That is just where the wires are, should be there on all of your guys's cars.

here is a helpful tip for the guys with daytime running lights how to make hte front side marker lights not go on. when the car is turned off pull the handbrake one or two clicks up and turn on the car. with lights off the front side markers wont be on

No.. one is the Left side primary lights(Brakes/Turn Signal), and the other is the Spoiler Light when you hit the Brakes.
Brown is the Marker Lights/secondarys, and Blue-green is the Right side primary lights.
