Mopar Check Engine Light (CA)

Just thought I would give back a little after all the great tips I have got from this site over the years.
I did the Mopar MPI kit a few months back. Getting ready for the smog guys here in CA and found out that I have to have the check engine light hooked up and functional for everything to be on the up and up. I like to keep everything on the jeep looking some what original so I wanted a light that would meet that goal.
Here is what I ended up doing. Went to the local Jeep junkyard and grabbed a couple of dash lights. Removed the silver bezel, took out the vinyl lettering and replaced with a piece I printed out at home and Covered it with a little clear mylar.
As for placement and install. I decided the spot over the drivers side speaker grille would work well. I cut the slot with a dremel and cut off wheel.
The end result is clean and somewhat stock looking so if you are in need of a Check engine light try this.

I have the photoshop file to print out if you want it. All you need to do is get the light. Let me know if you want the file and i'll email it to you.
