Disabling brake lights

Well since my E55 thread for topics that dont need their own topics was determined to be off topic... I guess I am back to starting a whole bunch of little threads...

This is going to probably be a touchy subject... Has anyone ever put there brake lights on a switch? flip the switch to the off position and disable the brake lights, flip the switch to on and the lights are active again?

What type of error codes does it throw? And does anyone think they would clear out as soon as the light circuit is complete again?

well if I havent purchased a new car by then... I will prolly rent something for it.

Goal is to be in an E/CLS come March/April, and then spend the month of May getting it ready, including full fluid change, brakes, rotors, SS lines, new fluid, wheels and tires and then a few other mods(if I have time)

It sounds like a good time, tough dates for me though.
The E is a straight line beast. For all the twisties on that route it can get a bit scary.
