Er, connect the appropriate wires to the LEDs!
This diagram should show you where to find the wires: http://www.autolib.diakom.ru/CAR/BMW/19 ... /fig08.pdf

Note that a LED is not really suitable for use as the battery warning light. If you insist, it needs to be a bi directional LED, and have a 220 ohm resistor connected across it.

I did forget to mention that i have only the shell of the dash, all i have is the blue plug and white plug that conects to the back of the dash nothing else, that's why i'm trying to find the feed to the warning light's from those plug's.
