Wires behind dash..
Discussion
I have re-done my dash and disconnected all the wires behind making a nice little diagram.
But I forgot to note which wires connect to the 3 lights Red, orange, Green in the middle of the speedo / rev counter. Anyone know?? car is a 1996 'N' The wires sort of fall in the right place but do they have to be on a certain way for these led's something about anode/cathode rings a bell from somewhere or either way??
Many thanks

Don't know about your indicators, they're all a bit different depending on model, but there will be +12v probably green/something to the dash ground.
Oil pressure warning uses the dash common +12v (light green), but grounds the pressure switch via Brown/White.
Alternator / ignition Led also uses the dash common +12v (light green), and the ground side connects to the spade on the alt - Brown/Yellow. It also commonly has a resistor in parallel (so that if the light fails the car still self excites - also used on cars with filament bulbs BTW).
Colours may vary, but pretty std - and you can figure out the 2 main ones by looking at the alt & oil pressure switch.
