The calipers have an indicator attatched forward of the outboard pad.
This is simply an L shaped bracket, as the pad wears, and the caliper piston extends closer to the rotor (both somewhat difficult to gauge), this indicator also gets closer to the rotor (easy to gauge).
In theory if the pads get thin enough the indicator may contact the rotor and make a hell-a-shous squeal.
Also more brake fluid follows the pistons and the level in the reserviour drops, the brake indicator in the dash illuminates. This probably doesn't mean you're losing fluid, time for new pads! This raises the fluid level back up.
but - You should make *sure* to have the brake fluid flushed during next brake service! it does absorb moisture.
30K city miles on 99? Darlin' I hope you take those ponies out for a nice long run from time to time!
