Check engine light/guage cluster

[statella43]

My old dash I put a extra brake warning light in and used it as a check engine light. This dash doesnt exactly have the room for that. I would like to some how have it in the stock guage cluster. I was just going to get a red led and put it in. Has anyone done this set up? Any pics/tips? Thanks everyone!

The way I normally do them is a small hole like the high beam indicator with a red lens and an LED. Let me know if you are interested and we can come up with some different ideas.

Do you use an existing hole or do you drill a new one?

If you're using EEC-IV, you'd be better off using an illuminated switch. Wire the backlight to act as the CEL, and wire the switch to pull codes.
