Alright I'm bumping the topic for my first post !

I'm wondering if it would be possible to put an LED with 2 colors. If the lights are on and not MIVEC, the LED is red and if the MIVEC is on, LED turns green. I'd put this in the back of the "LANCER" sign, like otter did.

Is it possible to hook this up ? I didn't check the circuits yet.

Thanks !!

you would need to develop a circuit to do it for you, but it is very possible.

thanks for taking the time to look around and bump threads rather than starting a bunch of crap threads no one wants to read if you need any help, just let me know(as long as you've searched first )

2 relays and two light assemblies. One relay turns on a light when there's no power applied to it, and the other relay turns on the other light when power is applied to it. Shouldn't be hard.

Yes. It actually occured to me awhile later that one relay would do the job just fine, just hook a different LED up to each output
