Find the wire that powers the tail light and wire it from the battery thru a toggle switch

I would check the fuse and try to fix it correctly before mickey mousing anything.

Hey-it works for me on a 911 situation-but just try the fuse who knows could be a blown fuse as stated or your headlamp switch is kaput that needs replacing.

Then again using the toggle -can create a backfeed to other circuits that's tied into the running lights -cancel out on my suggestion-

saturntech9 and rasmataz...thanks for the quick responses. Not sure where I will turn but as indicated earlier...even though this ol' car has been good to me (27,000 miles when I bought it May-2001), I have be careful what I can or can't spend. All I have heard from the Mechanics around here is remarks like, "it could be $50, or it could be $500. It's hard to say until we get into it."

Again, Thanks gentlemen for your advice...I appreciate it
