At some point I'll be modifying my dash to put my additional gauges in plain view with the rest of them, as Chris Foley suggested to me some time ago. While I'm at it, I'd like to put an additional oil pressure idiot light up top with a modern LED bulb to get the driver's attention (even though at race pace, by the time it come's on the damage will probably already have been done). Is it simple enough to just piggy-back onto the existing oil pressure light in the fuel gauge, splicing into those wires?
Ideally it would be nice to do the same thing with the alternator light, but given the fact that it's part of the charging system, I don't think I don't think I can do that, correct? |

Personally IMO you need something like a pro light mounted on top of the pod right in your field of view.
