me too
used a adjustable brake switch with a range of 0.5 < 5.0 bar bought from a local hydrolic suppliers same thread and there is a small screw on top to adlust the pressure..
jack up the front spin the disc get a monkey to eat peanuts and press the brake pedal till it binds on the disc !!!! i used a contiuity tested as the light i.e.... when she bleeped the light was on adjust to suit the brakes cost about £35 but worth it am running 944 s2 brakes all round on a swing axle 72 chris

What about a 911 master cylinder with the switches already in it. Shouldn't they be set for the correct pressure.??

Using a relay isn't a particularly good idea, unless you are using an ultra fast non automotive relay, but regular automotive relays have a switching time usually around several milliseconds, which although doesn't sound a lot in an emergency situation on a motorway could mean that someone stuffs up the back of you.
It wouldn't be your fault, but I would prefer not to have to go through the hassle of going through insurance etc. The standard switch can easily switch a pair of standard lights plus a LED high level light. Paul

How many msec does it take for the fluid pressure to build to throw the switch? longer still when system pressure is decreased..
The pedal will always move before the brakes. I have a rapid brake light using a microswitch. Relay is needed with the discreet switch I am using. I look at switches from pendulum pedal cars, but I've not yet seen anything I prefer to what I have now. LED eye level brake lights are a wise move on any VW :agree:
