Anybody know what the deal is with the 3 different color dash lights that come with the kit?
green for blinkers, blue for high beams, red can be a check engine light or something else

I used the red as a charge indicator light right above my ignition switch. It goes on when I turn the key to "run" before starting the engine, then goes out when the engine starts. If it comes on when the engine is running, that means the alternator and/or voltage regulator is bad and the battery isn't getting a charge.

Mk3.1 #7074
I used two green lights for left and right turn signal indicators, the blue light for the high beam and flash to pass, the the red as a multifunction light: ON steady for a low voltage condition, a slow blink for the starter ON with the transmission in gear and the clutch not depressed (starter is locked out in this case), and a fast blink for the parking brake not fully released with the clutch depressed. You can run the lights pretty much how ever you want. Or not at all if that's what you want.

I guess I went a little indicator light crazy..
Besides the two green turn indicator's, the red alternator, and blue hi-beam, I have a green one for my manual over-ride cooling fan switch, an amber auxiliary driving light indicator, and a red e-brake reminder light.
The e-brake itself had a switch. Very simple plunger type switch.
Very simple to wire. Switched 12V+ source wire to one spade on the indicator bulb, the other spade is wired to the switch. One wire from switch to ground.
The circuit is grounded when the e-brake is applied, and the light goes on. Add an inline fuse, or use the fuse-box itself as the power source. No relay required as it's such a low amperage bulb.
