Here is a thread on how to make your own annunciator:

Here is vx-aviation annunciator controller:

Vx-aviation is coming out with an annunciator panel which looks like:

The annunciator lights are modular so you can build up 4 or 12.
At most I would have 3 annunciators:
Volts, Oil P, Boost Pump (if I had discrete lights)
I don't personally need discrete annunciators. I have a GRT EIS 4000,
a brilliant piece of equipment that monitors everything. When I say
everything I mean everything. The EIS-4000 has a master caution
warning light that warns if there is an exceedance (Hi/Lo/Rate of change)
for every parameter of ALL aircraft system's:
(volt's/current/pressure's/flow's/level's/temp's/rpm/map)
This is the warning function works like this (look at bottom):

The only discrete lights the EIS4000 does not annunciate for me
at this time is the alternator's own internal warning light (internal VR).
I used (yellow) for caution.
The only other system light I considered was Fuel Pump - ON (blue).
If I did not have the GRT EIS4000, I would add Oil Pressure (red).
As far as colors this is what Boeing uses.
Red - Warning - requires urgent action to avoid damage
Yellow - Caution - may require action but not as urgent
White - Advisory - system Info (not flight critical / maintenance)
Blue - Normal system state
