Glowplug pushbutton..

Everything works as planned. Light in the cluster works when I push the button w/ the key on. Probably my cleanest custom wiring job I've ever done on one of my cars.

Do you think you could show a diagram of what you did here? There seems to be tons of questions on this so it might be good info.

led do not burn out,,, id assume wire not in cluster harness..

Sure they do. Just not when used correctly.

I put one into a dummy switch on the gli I converted.  Came out great I thought.

 LEDs aren't known for burning out but you can see burnt-out LEDs in the newer stop/go lights.
 If you put 12 volts to one without a current limiting resister, it won't burn out.
 It will EXPLODE!
 Careful with LEDs and 12volts,.. even 3 volts will blow up a red LED.

Not if it's AlInGaP red.

 Is that a higher voltage red? Most operate around 1.5 volts I think.
 Whereas the blue/white/green ones are 3.5 volts usually.

2.0-2.5v, so they won't burn out very fast on 3v.

as an electronerd i have a whole bunch of different LEDs here. Most are in the 1.something to 2.something range, but yeah i have some red LEDs that will emit some yellow and then pretty much melt if i pinch their leads around a cr2032 battery. And others that don't. There are a bunch of different chemistries out there.
