I did say "hardly any reason". Hopefully if you take half decent care of your car, it is not about to catch fire, loose oil pressure, or blow water out of the radiator as you drive down the road. And in the rare case when it does happen, having a light go off two feet to the right of where it is now would get your attention unless you're asleep at the wheel.
But for those of you who must watch the gauges so you know what's going on, may I humbly suggest a "heads up display" ...HUD
