Not really... The Marine Corps First Law of Combat applies:
"If it's stupid, but it works ... It isn't stupid."
Kinda like how NASA paid millions of dollars to develop a pen that would work in zero G and the Russians just had their cosmonauts use pencils.
We may be done here. But thanks for the Double E refresher! But to your earlier point above, Ken ... I don't have a siren but I always wanted a Federal 2Q -- Good excuse to get one. I *do* have a BeaconRay "bubble gum machine" rotating beacon and a couple of Grover "Emergency" airhorns -- I could wire all of them into the brake light circuit ...(I have an electric solenoid valve for the air horns .. ). OR ... going with a simpler, less sarcastic approach, I could do what Cosmo has done and put a third brakelight (one of those period lights that has the word "STOP" in the lens) -- which is still preferable to building a Supercomputer behind my dash and renaming my truck "HAL."
I will circle back and close this loop at some point in the ill-defined future.
