EX's and Cali trucks with 7.3's have a Glow Plug Control Module instead of a Glow Plug Relay.

Looks like this. Forgot who originally posted this pic. Sorry I am unable to give you credit.

Either like Robin said 8 Leds or you can just tap into one wire. I would, personally, install 2 leds, one for each side of the engine.

Go with 4 green and 4 red. Odd and even. All those lights coming on whenever you turned the key would be real impressive.

You could even go with 4 double leds. They have them that turn green or red depending on which lead gets the juice.

What happens when both leads are energized I don't know.
