Just need to simulate that charge direction limitation thing with a simple LED  Light Emitting Diode.  I bet you could wire it to the ignition side and get it working without the clutter called the instrument cluster.  Could be a real simple diode in a socket that snaps into the dash.  On with ignition and off when the alternator runs. 

What do you think Libby?  Does he need a resistor on the LED to take the 12 VDC as well?  I think so just not sure of the ohm rating.  similar to what is used when folks mod their dash lights using LEDs.

I used a light bulb from an autometer gauge.   I tried the LED thing once and it didn't work.

With LED on 12v you need 1.2K resistor,but I only know bulb one.
