[Vwdiesel] glow plugs

[Kenneth E. Oldrid]

For my GP indicator light, I bought an amber 12v light (LED?) from the local
parts shop. It fits in a 3/8" hole which I drilled thru 1 of the empty
accessory panel things. You know, to the left of the radio there are those
rectangular panels that snap out? Still haven't found where to tap the fuse box
for the signal though. Apparantly there is a terminal on the back of fuse box
for this, even though it's originally a gasser.
