I’d like to mount some sort of LED on my dash to let me know when my headlights are on. Has anyone seen a kit for that? Should I just run a couple of wires from the headlight through the firewall?

Should I just run a couple of wires from the headlight through the firewall?

That's the only way. The illumination will come on with the parks or headlights, so that won't tell you specifically if the headlights are on. There's no other place in the cabin to pick up a light signal, the wires to the headlights originate in the IPDM under the hood and don't run anywhere outside the engine box.

OK Thanks.

Yes, there are kits available that allow you to mount an LED on your dashboard to indicate when your headlights are on. These kits are typically designed to be easy to install and use, and can be found at many automotive supply stores or online retailers.
Alternatively, if you prefer to do it yourself, you can run a couple of wires from your headlight through the firewall and connect them to an LED mounted on your dashboard. However, if you are not experienced with automotive electrical work, it may be safer and more reliable to use a pre-made kit.
Remember to ensure that the LED is properly grounded and that the wires are securely connected to avoid any potential electrical issues.

Thank you. Should I ask for a kit for indicating when my headlights are on? Make and model specific?
