Gauge install question

I got the triple pillar kit from Clay and I think I am almost complete installing the set up but I have one quick question. The GPR LED that is listed in the instructions. Is this included in every kit or is it an option that I didn't buy? I ask because I am starting to wire up the gauges and the GPR LED is mentioned out of no where and I didn't plan for it at all. If I am supposed to have it I need to get it wired but I have never seen the LED in the kit.

No it isn't. I guess I will have to look through the rest of the stuff. Is it necessary or is it something extra?

It is not necessary. Adding an LED light that is powered by the glow plug terminal of the relay will show when the relay is energized. Somewhat useful but does nothing for confirmation that enough current is actually passing through. You could have a major voltage drop across the two main terminals and the GPR LED would still illuminate.

Clay did not include this with mine. I bought all the parts from radio shack to do it, since it was easier to do in the install than to go back and do.
