I think it is the red light under the VDO Logo in the gauge to the right.

Wiring on my car must be unique. The light at the base of the oil gauge is the e brake. I tested with motor on and off and it directly correlates to the e brake / e brake switch. ....

Sam as long as you know which is which. Remember to hell with oil light, always check the dip stick. Car running up to temp on level ground. As stated add gas and enjoy. You have a couple wires crossed.
