a13 puts the signal to ground, so run 12v+ to one side of the light and the other side goes to a13

if you go buy a light button like a switch but has a light insted one side will be for 12v+ run that off any ignition on 12v+ near were your putting light
from the other side of the light run this wire to A13 on the ecu harness
