Back in 1971 or so, a book came out that was the complete idiot's guide to 
repairing a Volkswagon. The best advice in there was to someone that had the 
battery fault light glowing faintly. He had the charging system checked out, and 
all was fine. But the glowing light kept bugging the guy. The "solution" was to 
paint a thin layer of fingernail polish over the light, so you couldn't see the 
glow but could see it if it came on fully.
