Remove and replace EGR light- but with what?

The EGR system on my 77S is inoperable but the light is still in the dash. I don’t really care that it’s there but if I could put something useful there that would be better.

Thus far I haven’t been able to think of anything to put there... any ideas?

I know this is super unimportant but the car is at the shop and I’m bored...🤷*♂️

I have the same issue in my '75.

I had added an external cooler and fan; had considered putting in a light to indicate when the fan was running. Used a lighted switch instead. Some other things I had considered (and haven't done anything yet):

Pushbutton for hidden garage door opener? (Not really in a useful spot.)

Indicator that fog lights are on? Or that radio antenna is up (if using an electric antenna)?

Extra oil-pressure or voltage warning light? Add a temp switch and have a oil temp too hot light?

Connect in parallel to the CIS cold start valve so that I know when it's on?

Put in a novelty "Pilot Ejected" light?

Add AFR monitoring and add an indicator light for when mixture goes too lean?

Anyway, my EGR light is still in the dash and unlit...
