Default toggle switch for electrical system

i have a crazy idea of putting a toggle switch to the lights in my gauge cluster so that way if i get pulled over at night i could claim my lights burned out and i could not see the speed-o.

do you thinnk it can be done?

Or you could slow the hell down. Cops aren't idiots, I hope you know that.

Yes because 4 over a 25 is wrong.

Rule is upto 45 mph do the limit, after that 5 over is ok. How difficult is that to figure out. I do 5 over on the interstate because cops don't care, but try that in town and you WILL get a ticket.

Fine... don't come crying to us when you get pulled over and get ass raped for trying to outsmart the cops like a friend of mine did. He yanked the fuse on his dashboard so he could one keep the odometer reading down and have an excuse. Well he got pulled over for 45 in a 25 and cops pretty much gave him 2 tickets because they figured his trick out.

Open your dashboard... you'll find a set of lights for the cluster. You'll need to have a toggle switch for either all of them or make a fan out to all of them. Get a switch, splice the wire and hook it up.
