Cajun,
to hook it up in parrallel as I have recommended it needs to be 120volt rated lamp, using the 12v lamp in series will work as the element reduces the voltage to the lamp, but if the lamp blows, it will act like a fuse and stop the element from working.

I looked at your schematic..If the light burned out it would not stop the element, I do not believe.. I might be reading your schematic wrong? but just erase the light and close the switch,, you still have a complete circuit, am I wrong??

anyhow, I like the idea of getting the 110V indicator light. they only cost two bits..

lights burn out easily and I would not want that to interfere with the heating element.. agree?
