I agree. I checked the engine hot and cold with a voltmeter to make sure the new installation was working but it would be nice to have an in-dash indication, like having the glow plug light stay on (without causing confusion, since it does that to indicate some failures).

Maybe a bi-colored LED to indicate "glow plugs still on after engine start" or something like that. I want a clean installation above all. If you have any ideas of what you would like to see, let me know . . . and BTW what is your cute little video all about, anyway?

Hey – look at the photo of the cluster with my post #3. In between the SRS light and the glow plug light is an empty spot. You could put a lamp in there and wire it to any one of the glow plug wires at the connector in the glow plug relay. It would light up in the dash any time the glow plugs are energized (would also notify you of a stuck-on glow plug relay). Let me look into that, would work for W123 cars too. Really neat if I could get a transparency that said
