Adding A Low Fuel Light 90-92 Camaro

So don't Know if anyone has done this. I sure some of you are asking Why? What Brought me to getting the fuel light to work on my camaro was this. I removed my factory vacuum assist cruise control and swapped in a electronic cruise control out of a 91' Silverado. In doing so I added the cruise control statue light into my dash above the speedo. I cut the panel out of a dodge dakota gauge cluster which also had a low fuel light that lined up with the next blank light hole on the camaro gauge cluster. So I thought it would be neat to get both functioning correctly. bellow is a link
Please leave a like if you watch. And Thanks

Upper right corner next to the relays on the fire wall is the cruise control module out of the 91' Silverado that works perfectly.

Thats pretty sweet. If there are unused spots up there without bulbs why not find a use for it.

Re: Adding A Low Fuel Light 90-92 Camaro

kind doing the same thing just doing it on the bottom of you gauges. Either on the seatbelt light or on the check engine light side.

Re: Adding A Low Fuel Light 90-92 Camaro

Nice idea, and the finished product looks like it belongs. Kinda makes me wish the Firebird cluster were laid out a little differently. Unlike the Camaros, the Firebird had the indicators as part of the gauge faces. While several indicator spots are unused (shift, low oil, etc) it'd be a trick changing the text to read correctly for a different purpose.

Still it's nice to see features added, especially in a clean way that doesn't look like a mod.
