Default Blue Lights from Marty (MyRide7)

Once I got my bars on I finally got to put my new gauges in and also added some leds to my speaker grills. It all looks great, only question I have is how to test my indicator lights? Never gave it much thought but when I tested the gauges I noticed the oil pressure light did not come on. I can't remember if it should or not. Probably nothing but I figured I would test it all before I close her up.

Thanks Marty! Great job!

looks good, regarding the speakers, did you simply mount LED's behind the grill?

Thanks Marty! Great job!
When you have the ignition switch on and kill switch to run you should have oil light on.try your turn signals and brights to see if they work if not the connector not plugged in right or loose

Thanks! They are 3 LEDs on a hard plastic strip sealed with the load resistor. Painted the back side black and stuck it between the the tweeters.

Yes the grills are waaaaaaaaay too expensive for me. The ones I used are even cheaper the the autozone one. $4 a piece! I get them from a local electronics store (Tanner elctronics). They have everything but no good website. In store only.

Thanks! I will try that when I get home. I never thought about the kill switch.

I drilled a small hole in the side of the speaker adapter, close to the grill and pulled the wires through it. Then sealed it with black RTV. Spliced into the gauge background light wires.
