The papajam diagram I'm looking at shows the light to be just a switch activated thing.
Fuel level goes low enough, switch activates and sends + current to light, light comes on and grounds via fuel gauge body.
Wow, looking at that lightdly.pdf I gotta say, I don't have the first clue about what is actually being shown other than some squiggly lines LOL
Perhaps someone brighter than me can convert things into words like 'resistor' and 'diode'?
That aside, such a rig would prolly work just fine.
I recall a sorta simular thread from waybackwhen in the GTV subsection that worked in a resistor to stop the light flickering, but I'm not sure if it ever actually worked or was considered a viable way to do it amongst the participants at that time.
Basically it came up, got talked about, then fell off the world.
Do consider that someone is sure to trip by and say 'but the light makes a good G~meter' which at first kinda sorta makes sense, right up to the point where one realizes that if you actually need a light to tell you when side load is increasing then mabe that person shouldn't be trying to drive that hard because obviously thier cranially mounted stereoscopic fluid damped internal inertia detection devices aren't functioning up to par and they prolly fall over a lot just walking across a room
