AutoMeter Multi Purpose Warning Light
AutoMeter Multi Purpose Warning Lights: Race-Proven Engine Protection
When critical engine conditions develop on the track or the street, every second counts. AutoMeter has spent more than 60 years engineering instrumentation that gives drivers the information they need before damage occurs — and their multi purpose warning lights are a cornerstone of that philosophy. Designed to complement AutoMeter's world-class gauge ecosystem, these warning lights serve as a last line of defense against costly engine failures caused by loss of oil pressure or dangerous rises in oil or water temperature.
The Pro-Lite and Mini Pro-Lite Series
AutoMeter's flagship warning light lineup centers on two well-known product families: the Pro-Lite and the Mini Pro-Lite. The Pro-Lite (such as part #3240) features a bright red incandescent bulb and night cover, and is designed to be paired directly with temperature and pressure switches to alert the driver of critical conditions before irreversible engine damage occurs. The compact Mini Pro-Lite (available in black, part #3239, and silver, part #3238) brings the same core functionality in a smaller footprint, making it ideal for builds where cockpit space is at a premium. Each Mini Pro-Lite kit includes red, yellow, and blue bulb boots along with a yellow night cover, giving builders flexibility in how the light is presented inside the vehicle.
What sets these units apart is their focus on actionable alerting. Rather than simply logging a condition, AutoMeter's warning lights are engineered to give drivers enough time to respond — shutting down the engine before catastrophic damage sets in. As AutoMeter puts it, these are "advanced notification systems" that deliver an unmistakable warning of impending engine damage.
Shift-Lite Warning Lights for Performance Applications
Beyond traditional engine-protection lights, AutoMeter's multi purpose warning light lineup extends into shift-point notification. The Shift-Lite series (including the pedestal-mount units in black and silver, such as parts #5334 and #5335) uses an amber incandescent bulb to signal the optimal RPM shift point, keeping a driver's eyes on the road rather than buried in the gauges. For builds requiring electronic RPM triggering, AutoMeter also offers single-stage programmable shift lights with single-button RPM capture for precise shift light activation point programming.
Built to Integrate with the Full AutoMeter Ecosystem
One of AutoMeter's greatest strengths with their warning lights is seamless integration with the rest of their instrumentation family. Whether you are running a full gauge panel with Sport-Comp, Ultra-Lite, or Cobalt series gauges, AutoMeter's warning lights are styled and sized to match and can be wired into the same harness infrastructure. This cohesive design philosophy means you are not mixing and matching from different brands — your entire cockpit speaks the same visual language under pressure.
Available in multiple housing finishes and lens colors, and backed by AutoMeter's quality manufacturing from their Sycamore, IL facility, these warning lights are suited for street performance builds, circle track, drag racing, and everything in between.
