Thats a really good idea if you connect it to pin 5 you wont need to add a resistor (bulb provides the needed resistance) and you'll have a second charge indicator. The charge wire at 30 amps will drop the voltage ~.5 volts and the gauge is a presision instument that can detect these small changes in current.
