Yup, I fittind this button using this as a guide to work from. The way its wired, it will light up bright blue when ignition is switched on and stay lit until the engine is running. It works great and just adds a bit extra to the leven dash IMHO. Mine looks like this:

I have a better pick of where mine is but this one isn't on my car...

It was very easy to do and only needs the starter button, a SPST and SPDT relay from Maplin and then just ign, 12v, start, and earth feeds which can all be taken from the ignition barrel except earth. Oh and also the oil pressure switch feed found in the loom as described in the guide - this is used to prevent the button activating the start process once the engine is running - very useful when you have family members with itchy button fingers like mine!
