Re: Brake Lights

The pressure in that part of the system will be the same - it will just 
be your leg providing all the pressure instead of having the engine do 
part of the job for you.

The pressure switch can fail both on the hydraulic side (it can develop 
leaks) and electrically (the switch can fail and leave you without brake 
lights). If you have the option you should consider changing over to a 
mechanical switch that is actuated by the brake pedal moving away from 
its rest position.
