    Looking For Ideas

    Hi everyone. I may or may not have mentioned that I put new gauges in the dash. I have a quad on the left, speedo in the center and tach on the right. I haven't the foggiest idea about possible uses for the now dark OIL and GEN lights. I would love to hear if anyone has an idea. Thanks.

    You can use a t-fitting and have both the oil pressure gauge AND the original "OIL" light working. (put both senders on the t-fitting)

    My GEN light is still "dead" however.

    I suppose you could use it for a line-lock indicator or something

      Maybe tap off the turn signals and have two sets of lights. One green and one red. Might look cool.

        How about warp speed indicator.

          I like that one. If I get a nitrous system I could probably wire them to come on when the nitrous is flowing - though I would probably have other things on my mind than looking at the lights in the dash

            Keep engine light red and hook to brakes. Red=stop. Attach brake-like switch to gas pedal hanger and hook to the now-green (make it green) GEN light. Red for stop, green for go.

              Get a bezel engraved that says "MACHINE GUNS". Turn light on with a toggle switch directly underneath.
