Default SI Aftermarket Altenator Install HELP!!

Whats up Guys? I have a 2004 Honda Civic SI and A brand new Power Bastards 220+ amp alternator. My Issue is that the 4 pin plug off the original alternator will no longer be used but i want to avoid a battery light in the car. Could anyone tell me what I need to do in order to cut the light off?

I found a Diagram here for what I believe is the non SI, because only two of the wire colors match my setup -
https://honda-tech.com/forums/drag-racing-36/alternator-wiring-2667286/

this thread tells me to connect the blk/yel and the wht/blue to turn off the light, but how about the other two wires n my setup, wht/red and wht/grn which go to the ecm? Are they no longer used in this application?

My wiring Schematic shows:

wht/grn - C
blk/yel - IG
wht/blu - L
wht/red - FR

Any help will be greatly appreciated. TIA!
Ray

Why would you "want to avoid a battery light" ? That is important info for the driver.

Ok, it's not that I want to eliminate it, it's that the new alternator is totally standalone as per the manufacturer. So I am trying to figure out how to keep the light off without removing the bulb, and at the same time to avoid any issues with the ECM. Plus I figure that with a volt meter inside I can tell if I'm charging or not anyway, so the light at that point won't be so important as lOng as I can monitor it at the gauge.

Thanks

could anyone at least explain what the C, L, FR stand for? I know IG is ignition maybe I can figure out the rest.

Thanks

You can't bump it if it hasn't gone to the bottom. Try EPhatch.com.
