LED mod switch - better?

- just did a red LED brake-light mod for my yellow Ford Cobra zz...

- however, instead of using a microswitch (as shown elsewhere), i desoldered a 2-pin mobo jumper off a junk ISA card, drilled two holes by the zz's gas cap, and mounted the jumper from the inside... to turn on the lights, a jumper is placed on the pins - when not in use, the jumper is placed on only one pin...

- this approach is cheaper, less obtrusive, and saves several grams of weight for the mod...

- i also used the smallest 3V Lithium cell i could find...

all in all, a very nice $3 mod for my zz...
