front brakes

I took the right front brake drum off just to see how everything is. The dang brake shoe asbestos crap fell right to the ground. Also, both front brake pistons are frozen. So, the grand total to fix both front wheels is $43.98. Not too bad. I'm thinking that after that, there shouldn't be any more major problems.

The only electrical thing I'm wondering about right now is how the brake lights turn on just by hitting the brakes. Anyone want to shplain dat one to me? It seems like everything else can just be sort of wired to some 12v battery.
