Default VTEC Indicator LED?

Hi Guys (and gals?)
I'm building a custom gauge mounting for my '92 Civic SiR, and want to put in Vtec indicator led, to illuminate when vtec engages. I've heard it's relatively simple to do, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips or even possibly wiring diagrams (does'nt have to be for eg6 sir, even ex/dx would be good?)

Vtec solenoid being where and looking like what?
I've heard I have to be careful with earthing or the ecu will be damaged?

isn't there a certain amperage the led can't exceed, or it will prevent vtec from functioning??

i just did this a couple months ago. You must splice into the orange/white wire on the coming from the ecu. add a wire a 5 ohm resistor (i think) to the positive end of the really low voltage led, mount it, and wallah. mine is blue and i got all the stuff from radio shack. BTW this is for a d16z6, for the d16y8 it is the green/yellow wire. if you have any more questions lemme know. hope this helps.
later
