YESSSSS Bob's idiot light can serves the same purpose as the diode. HOWEVER I recomemnd use of a 10 ohm resistor to serve as a current limiting protective device and then ONLY use a diode if she still runs even with the ignition OFF (dont think it ever will however i.e. with 10 ohm resistor they cant hardy run on.) I dont use diodes anymore, just the resistor as I believe it is more safety protective then the .6 voltage drop a diode can offer The idiot light Bob n others use also has a high resistance, probably higher even then 10 ohms I recommend, so it may be even better as a safety current limiting protection device PLUS it serves as an idiot charge indicator light. CAUTION some lights like an LED can be way toooo much resistance and not allow enough current for excitation THEY WONT WORK The ones Bob uses are still incandescent I believe???????? Whatch think Bob ???????????? John T
