I also have an amber light on my M151A2. Mounted on the left rear corner
using an antenna mount. I have a switch wired in with a red safety cover.
It is wired separate from the ignition circuit. I had a good friend tell me
that if I had the ignition on for any length of time it would kill the
electronic ignition module. He was speaking from his own misadventure.
Pictures of light and switch mountings if you want, just let me know.
