So by this I take it to mean you replaced the factory double 120
electric outlet with a new double GFI outlet, and then wired a green
light inline using the electrical junction box containing the original
Westie circuit breaker.

Is this correct? Seems pretty straight-forward. If so, I'll probably
do the same thing then.

And thanks for the info.
