Easy and quick to put a superbright LED in -- it will have a clear lens,
but you won't miss it in daylight and in the dark it's like being stabbed
in the eye.  I quit worrying about buzzers as soon as I did that.  Now I
wish I'd done if for the alternator light too (I will soon), and if I could
get inside the temp gauge without wrecking it I'd put one there as well.
