a glow plug LED question

since i will be pulling the dash bezel off the 02 to modify it to fit the new radio, i might as well hook up the LED that has been in the bezel since i got it.
i will be grounding one leg to the dash, then i need to hook up the other side to the large terminal of the glow plug relay that is not always powered, correct?

I am pretty sure I included a small in line fuse as close to the light as possible. That might already be in your plan but thought I would mention it just in case.

Large post without 12volts until key on. I grounded mine right under dash.. Use 12v led. I did not use fuse so thats your call..
