Actually, I'm planning on adding that light!

How would you wire a light to come on when the power goes off? I guess when the circuit is off it's grounded? And thus can cause another light to go on?

yes, that would work. Like the ASR/TCS switch. When off, it lights.

Hmm... but how would you wire that... the only way I can think of is that you would essentially have two power wires and no ground when it's working and then a power and a ground when it's not working. But, I'm not so sure that's safe to run a hot wire without a ground.

I'm thinking way too much today. It sucks.
