s13 S13 Fuel light issue, Everyones input needed.

Ok so I have searched here, other forums AND google, there are no follow ups on solving the problem, from what i've read, it's a common issue.

I want to get Everyones input before I dig into this, I'm in the process of making how to videos on YouTube, anyways this issue has bothered me for years, my fuel light never comes on, in the 11 years I've owned my S13 I have only seen my fuel light come on one time, I had it parked on my steep driveway and it barely illuminated but it came on, since then I've run my car very low to where I park my car on the left side of my street and my car wouldn't start because the fuel won't reach the fuel pump because it's on the right side of the car and even run the car completely empty to see if it would illuminate with no success, I have a question for people that DO HAVE a working low fuel light, when you turn your key to the ACC without starting your car or when you do start your car, does the low fuel illuminate like the oil, check engine, battery lights? Also when you have low fuel, at what point does the low fuel light come on? As in 1/4 tank.

Also have any of you had a personal experience in fixing their fuel light?

Lots of people ask "what's in the fuel pump that sends signal to illuminate the low fuel light?" "what wires are for the fuel light?" "is there a sensor for the fuel light?" and so on.

FSM doesn't tell me what wires are for the low fuel light.

I have an 89 S13 coupe with the HUD. let's here Everyones theory, fix, fails and what you've tried, I don't care for the "you shouldn't let you car run that low anyways because it messes stuff up" I have had my car since 2001 and it's been my daily all 11 years and I have religiously run car on little to no fuel since day one and my car is still running.

I dont want to hear " who cares" because I do and I'm sure very few others do care also.
