Buster - Depends on how fancy you want to go. In the past I've gone to Radio Shack and purchased a red pilot lamp holder and #1815 bulb. Mount the holder in a convenient spot, wire it up and you're set. Another way is to purchase a marker lamp assembly (includes the #168 or #1815 bulb) and mount/wire it in. But if you go this route you may have to modify the marker assembly to insure BOTH sides of the lamp are ungrounded. If one side of the lamp is grounded the alternator won't work. The cheap, all plastic marker lamps are best for this... The cheapest route is to simply solder your wiring directly to the bulb terminals (no socket required). Then tape the bulb to the wiring and tuck it up under the hood someplace. Not recommended but I've done it and it works! Another way is to get a 1 amp, 50 volt or higher rated diode and use it in place of the lamp. I forget which way to orient the band on the diode relative to the #1 alternator terminal. But you can figure it out quickly by trial and error - if the alternator doesn't charge, simply reverse the diode connections.

In the winter, we'd play
