Yeah, he's right. To pass smog they need to see your CEL blink when you turn your car on with all the other lights. If you just cut the wire and the CEL doesn't show during start up, it won't pass.

Haha.

I do that all the time.


sshhhiiittt



OP: Don't cut anything. If you want to simply not deal with the light, take the bulb out of the cluster.

But smog techs will fail your car if the light doesn't illuminate when they turn your car off/on.

That's why you wire it to your oil light.

And then once you are driving and your oil/check engine light come on for real, you'll know you're fucked.

Just what a check engine light should do.

haha.
