    Yep, can be done with a switch pretty easy. Personally I would install a toggle switch in the bed that links to the grounds on the lights you want off. When you get there just flip the switch to off, then when you get back on the road flip it to on.

    You are missing out not running a can. One of the best things for any gun. I would stop wasting time and go find a hood 30 and just pull the trigger. You will have it for years.

    What about magnet sheets, like the kind people use to advertise on their trucks? Just get a blank one and cut it into shapes tk wrap around your brake lights. If the fit isn’t perfect you can glue a bit of EVA foam to it to make sure it’s totally blacked out. Costs $50 and fifteen minutes to make. Not as cool as a stealth mode switch for sure, but works. And then you just slap the covers onto the tailgate until you get to the next road where you pop out and flip them over. You could also get them custom printed with “making bacon” graphics.
