Radiator Fan Led

I have been wanting to do this to one of my water cooled bikes for years. So today while I had the plastic and tank off to install some Iridium plugs, I wired in an led strip to the radiator fan. In theory if I am hauling ass over one of the many mountain passes in Washington State going 70+ mph and this led comes on, I know I have issues.

If I'm correct this led strip will come on long before the idiot light comes on.
I know I am putting way too much unneeded thought into this...but let me have my fun, besides, it's shiny!

Dont know if it would really be an issue, but atleast youll know water temp is 200deg when it comes on

I always found a fan "on" light was nice when you had a manual fan switch. Iam forgetful once in awhile...

If a70+ mile an hour wind isn't enough to cool it under those conditions, very soon the other red light is going to come on

I am probably over thinking the whole situation?
