Wiring up alternator

I'm at the point where I need to wire up my alternator. It's from a daihatsu note and it has 3 wires. One thick, and then two thinner ones that are together on a connector block.

When I first got my kit on the road I didn't do the alternator wiring so I realised I've not done one before T_T

Does one go to my battery and another go to a charge light? What can I use for a charge light, something I can pick up from local motor factors? Need it explaining as if it's aimed at a 3 year old who likes to put crayons up his nose.





The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

Spot on, thank you!

What can I use for a charge light? (not sure what's suitable/if it has to be a certain rating etc) And what's it for? Just to tell you that the alternator is working and charging the battery?
