brake/tail/reverse lights off ecu or switch?
hello everybody, i am trying to rewire a 1987 4runner that had the whole rear wire harness removed from dash back...am i wrong to assume that i can run wires straight from the brake pedal switch to a fuse, and then straight to the rear brake light? As for reverse, is it normal to have the light controlled by a wire from the ecu, or again just straight from the wire coming off the shifter (aftermarket floor shifter so has a single wire coming off a switch that is triggered when in reverse) For tail lights, is it normal to just tap off a fuse that is always powered when driving, fuel pump or ignition or something of that nature? Again should that be triggered by something from the ecu as well?
Will the small lights in the rear be too much for these switches, should they all run a relay between each? is it better if i used led bulbs, or is that just putting a bandaid on the problem?
fuel pump and everything needed to run offroad are wired up, and done fairly well...just would like to drive it on the road a bit more
