Hey guys,

Bit of a silly question here but should my check engine light be lit up when my key is in the 'on' position?

It wont light up because you don't have a check engine light. They only came in around late 2003-04 for the NB's

OBDII didn't come in until the NB8C for MY03 (Sept 02 build onwards).

That's either a jdm cluster or a nb8c cluster

The Australian 01/02 8b didn't have a cel

On a similar topic....

The NB8Bs also came with the fog light "On" indicator in the dash, even for Australian models. But they were never used on Australian delivered cars.

Teckno did a great write-up on how to wire it up and make it functional.
