Done deal. The idea of tapping into the center light was interesting, and I gave it much thought and kicked it around awhile. Overall, it seemed kinda "hack". Spent $75 dollars on the switch, had to fab a puller and a compressor, but it is done. Total time, about 4 hours. I keep scrap chunks of steel around the garage to make the special tools as required. It is good to put it to use.
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!!
