Check Engine Light for Center Panel in Dash?

[PabloCruise]

I want to put a CEL in the center dash panel on my '74 Pig.

I was envisioning using the "blank" hole that looks to be plugged to the left of the switch for rear window (sorry, I do not have a picture with me)

Has anyone utilized that hole for a CEL? If so, what was the best fit/look product you found to use there?

TIA!

get the early FWD indicator light from the lower dash pod on an early piggie, or the early blinker(green)/parking brake light(red) with chrome bezel from a fj40. either will require opening up the hole a bit, but either would look good...

Cool idea, do you have any pics of these?

Or can you tell me what years they were in?

Here is where I would like to place the CEL:

hey pablo i have the original smog light in mine, just sits there filling a hole, doesnt do anything with the diesel installed. it sits under the headlight knob, if you want it its yours bro.

Oh! Is it the EGR light?

I never thought about that - that would look very factory and not force me to mess with the center panel...

I will send PM.

Thank you!

Is this sort of what you're thinking of?

The yellow arrow is a push button for the glow plugs to start the diesel and the red arrow is the water separator light (also for the diesel).
