Jon is right. The alternator needs to have the lamp circuit to excite or trigger the output current. Many times there's room to Tee oil pressure and use a different coolant/oil temp sensor location. It's not a bad idea to keep idiot lights with gauges as the lights attract more attention. My stationary compressor as the ignition wired through temp and oil pressure senders as well as having gauges. A problem that would turn on an idiot light will kill the engine.
