Home-made Throttle position switch

I'd like to attach a switch to my throttle (either at the accelerator pedal or further down the throttle path) that would allow me to have a set of three LED lights indicate throttle position -- 0-33%, 33-66% and 66-100% (or thereabouts). The LED lights would be positioned up near the rearview mirror.

I'd also like to have an LED light indicate brake on/off.

The brake seems pretty simple, but I'd appreciate any suggestions on either problem.

I want to have my in-car videos indicate speed, brake on/off, and approximate throttle position. The speed will be accomplished with a digital readout from a bicycle speedometer. It's going to be kind of a poor man's Datacam.
