I don't have a garage now, but on my first S2000 I did a similar mod that uses no switches.

I soldered the switch to be always closed;
Removed the battery;
Wired the remote's battery connectors in-line with the high beam wires...access them under the hood about a foot away from the high beams themselves.

To open the garage door, I simply flashed the high beams. The remote used a 9 volt battery, and obviously the high beams are using closer to 14.4 volts. Over a year later no damage had been done to the remote circuitry. I swear I had some additional range this way too.
