This modification was based on the trunk light mod in
the Miata.net
garage. Instead of a latch switch, I used a mercury switch, and instead
of connecting directly to the battery, I tapped into the blue wire to
the power antenna. Someday I'll write up detailed instructions. In the
meantime, the photos below should help.
Parts:
- Mercury switch ($2.69)
- Rectifier, Radio Shack PN 276-1141 ($1.09)
- 18 guage solid hook-up wire
- Quick connect
- Plastic electrical tape
Tapping into the power source. The quick connect is shown in red.
The diode and mercury switch.

The finished product. I stuffed the wiring into the space behind the lights
and held it in place with a cable tie.
