Add-on glow plug indicator

I currently have two swap projects involving IDI style diesels, and I need some sort of glow plug indicator. I'd rather use the ISO style indicator than a "wait to start" or "glow plugs" lights, like this:

Is there a place I can get a small housing and indicator lamp?

You could run a wire off the buss bar instead of the relay and use something generic off a Kubota tractor or similar.

Interesting. A bit pricey, but it's an option (except shipping, taxes, duty, etc).
I may do something like print that symbol on a clear label and affix it to an indicator like the amber one here:
Colored Indicator Lights

Search results for: 'engraver' If you have one of these or know someone who has, it would be easy to engrave a symbol on to any dash light.
