If the TR6 switch is in the footwell (as mentioned in another post) you 
might consider the TR4 set-up which has the switch in the portion of the 
pedal box that is in the engine compartment.

An alternative to the switch is to keep the pressure switch but add a relay. 
That is what I did (as suggested by Randall).  This also allows more wattage 
and more bulbs so I have a magnetic-base third light and also converted the 
turnsignals to 2-filament bases for 2 more brake lights.  Still not enough 
for some drivers to see I suppose.
