Exhaust Brake Switch Ideas?

Well i made a trip to the local junk yard today with two of my buddies after school and got a few things..all for free haha i got two "lightning audio" or something 6x9 speakers out of an 80's camaro, we tried em in my buddies chevy 1500 and they worked, pretty decent sound too. So i think im gonna throw them in my 82 F100 project. I also got an exhaust brake switch off the shifter of an older international plow truck. I mounted the switch on the shifter in my truck as soon as i got home, but im just not sure what i should wire it up to lol you guys got any ideas?? Ill see if i can get a pic of it...

yeah i know ahah but i cut the wires off it when i pulled it out of the truck in the junk yard. theres about a foot or so of wire still on it, so i can just add wire to it if i need to. but id like to hook it up to something, it looks kinda cool on there haha but i know it wont work as an exhaust brake, i wish i had the diesel though lol maybe one day...

Any aftermarket lighting you have, or train horn, anything aftermarket is going to be best bet.

yeah i guess i could do that. i do have the "wanna be" train horns from Harbor freight lol but theyre already wired to a switch under my dash. and then i have the red LED strips under my dash too which are on a switch right next to the one for the horns. maybe ill hook this switch up to a set of fog lights or something...ill have to do some ponderin on it lol
