After all, it is just a warning light...

Not true...

Yes, the light does serve as a warning. However, the biggest reason for having such a large light with colored lenses is so that the spectators can determine which robots are on which team.

In the first year of the "alliances", even the operators had a hard time remembering who was on your team and who was opposing you.

As far as the technical question is concerned, simply hook up the spike to relay 8 and wire the light red(+) and black(-) and move on... You should have bigger issues to worry about.
