Any suggestions on where to put the oil pressure Idiot light???

Just hooking up the Laguna seca gauge pod.... Also installing a oil pressure idiot light... any suggestions on where to put the warning light??

Here’s what I did:


I love having real-time feedback on oil temp, pressure and water temp

Yup that will be just like mine, but I have Tranny oil temp instead of water temp.... What I have as well is a warning light for oil pressure, and wanted to mount it some where very visible but no to hard to install. I fined that when I get carried away with some one on my tail, tend to need some bright big waring light. hmmm maybe on the mirrror!

I don't have one, but I'd put the light under the dash pad right between the speedo and tach...or in the gauge pod between the gauges, right under the top 'lip'. I'd also use a bright LED in the socket, and wire in a test momentary switch.

Good idea on the tranny temp gauge. I’ve thought about a rear diff temp gauge too[emoji848]

I like what Grant said, between the gauges, I might do it to mine.

I use gauges which have high and low temp/pressure warning lights built in.
I have low temps, warm up set with a greeen backlight. High temps have a red backlight.
No need to install a separate light. Gauges are mounted in Ford gauge pod.

Looks my autometer gauges are the cheaper ones... Wanted a bright red light to make sure I notice a drop in Oil Pressure.... maybe some cables under the seat?

Between the dash was the best choice, thanks!! Cant miss it....

I put mine in the power point in the center of the dash. Took out the factory power point, the remaining hole is almost perfect for a Longacre idiot light. I can even close the cover when driving it on the street.....

Cool. I like that, but I use the port waay too much to charge phones and cameras, etc. at the track.

I thought about that but then I said to myself, "Meh because racecar !!"

lol. There is the port in the center console too...but I think that one is switched with the key.
