Hello people

I am building a land rover defender to do offroad events in , The car has alot of switches but what i want to do is have a led warning lamp to tell me if the switch is off but then swap to a different led when the switch is on,

Hope you understand what i mean,

I just can seem to work out how to do this any help would be great.

Thanks again.

the easest way i can think of is to go out and get some on-on switches power going to center pole, wire and (on)LED on one pole, and (off)LED on the other pole, make sure you use resistors for your leds and all
