You don't need a light to indicate when the relay clicks off, just listen for it. It's a fairly loud click at least on the newer glow relay systems.

OHH gotcha, I always manage to look like an idiot on here somehow.. it definitely will help as you said, Is there a way to just modify the set glow cycle or does that just require a whole new relay? Where I live the street noise in the mornings makes it hard to listen for the relay, so a light would help out. It's more of a hit or miss situation, depending if my neighbor takes his 240D by my house at the right time.
