want a gauge light!

i've heard a lot of complaints about not havin a gas light(low fuel) after removing your gauge. even some that have run out of gas and crashed, maybe even gotten hurt.
so i was thinking of a way i could have some gauge light and came up with this.
its just 2 small leds i bought at radio shack. all you have to do is find the harness that the gauges plug into and use a red scotchlock to plug into whichever wire you want(i have one on "low fuel" and the other on "fi light"(to diagnose problems)) and the other wire(from the led) to any ground.
after that just epoxy the leds to the inside of the headlight and let dry overnight. your done! it would probly take the average person about 10min. no more runnin outa gas

for those without a wire diagram, i have one for the f4i and 600rr so just pm me and i'll let ya know what color wire you gotta tap into for the light you want. ie. gas, oil, fi, etc.

Re: want a gauge light!

if any one knows which ones, has a manual or works at a shop and could tell me what wires are for the gas and oil press light on a 06 r6 (not s) that would be great

i would say no becuase you cant tap a light into a wire that doesnt exist.

I tapped into the wire and it didnt work for me. I dont remember which one now but when I get home I can double check. From what I remember I think it was a brown/black wire or black/brown wire I'll post up when I get home
