Default Want to wire up a dummy low oil level light (LT1)

Anyone able to help me with how this works? I have a simple light in my gauge cluster (autometer/innovate gauges now). Light is pretty obvious, it lights when it gets 12v and ground.

Anyone know how the stock low oil level sensor provides ground when the oil is low?

The low oil input is a ground supplied to the I/P cluster. The switch is normally closed, open with low oil. The light itself is controlled by the solid state controller in the cluster.
