Are you talking about a light on the cluster?
If so fill your washer bottle with water.

Yeah probably, you can get it calibrated to your speedo though, i dunno how much it costs, i wouldn't even bother TBH... Atleast if you get done speeding it'll be for less then what you thought you where done at :lol:

Yeah that is just an aftermarket part that someone has added and now obviously removed. Either try are reconncect them or get rid of them

ok like i said there aftermarket sprayers
they are illegal to light up while driving
if you are going to wire them up ( or any other leds/neons ) wire them to a switch in you car
its simple red black wiring if you want to test them just get some wire and connect direct to battery
they will most likely be white blue or red

the light on your cluster is to fill up your fluid for the washers, as u get low it goes on under heavy acceleration or breaking :)...and the wires will only work 1 way on those lights, they will b LEDs and led's only work 1 way and no damage will b done to the leds if u connect them wrong,,,,and also, dont wire them,,, least classy thing you can do with your car, its an attention seeking mod rather than sophistocated and suttle. my 2cents :)
