Default 3dr engine loom

Just replaced my engine loom for a new pectel braided one from prometheus motorsport, car running well but my oil pressure light isnt working now. I have a oil pressure gauge but still want the standard light to work, does anybody know what colour wire i should be looking for. Will it need a rolling road session or will it be ok, any help appreciated.

No doesn't need setting up or anything, the oil warning light wire on your car is most likely to be brown/red, same colour as the air con wires!!
The oil light wire is part of the CAR loom not the engine loom also, have a recheck might just have knocked it off accidentally.

The oil pressure light is as said part of the car loom, it comes out where the wire to the starter goes, most likely as said it's been knocked, the switch is on the passenger side of the block at the back.
