Must be the headlight bulbs you've got for extra-bright brake lights. ;-) Seriously, maybe there's a wiring problem producing a significant short circuit and increasing the current. It's not a problem I've had either (once in the Bus I think). Check the circuit resistance with the bulbs out of circuit as they have a very small resistance cold. Don't know if the warning light circuit can do anything unpleasant to the switch contacts. Sorry if this is teaching Grandma to suck eggs, or whatever the USA equivalent is. Dave.
