hook into the t-vis relay which is the red/white wire on the 18pin ecu socket... send that wire to one of the legs on a LED, then connect the other to power feed (im pretty sure the t-vis relay earths it..)

when you hit t-vis the light should come on.

don't need diagrams
connect 12v to one side of the light, and on the other attach it to the TVIS pin on the ecu. Ecu grounds the TVIS to turn it off, so this will actually give you a light when TVIS is off (butterflies closed) that will go out when they open. If you want it to work the other way then just use a simple DPST relay and connect the light to the normally closed output.
