Default No tailights? I need toggle switch solution

not for a honda... for my beater delta 88. checked the bulbs, fine, replaced anyways.. nada voltmeter.. nada..
so, could I possibly just tie the ajoining wires together and spit off a 12v source on a toggle switch? this car is really ghetto. the headlights are on a toggle right now.. lol.. but im not sure how rigged it is... anyways, thanks in advance for any insight.


cheers,

yeah, sorry, brakelights and hazards work... taillights, driving lights and dash light are gone.. I can deal with no cluster light, but its hard enough to bring chicks home in a beater car.. let alone one you can only drive at night with the hazards on

Have you checked the fuses? Do your front parking lights work?

You may want to check the factory lighting relays (usually under the hood). If there are no problems with those, then I think your best/easiest solution would be to run new wires to the lights, attach them to a relay off the battery, and use your own switch. Otherwise, you'll have to go through and diagnose the existing wiring.
