unidentified light under the dash
There is a light (well i think its a light) under the dash. It has a yellow lens and is on the underside of the flat part of the dash above the ac control part. Weird i have no idea what it could be. Its not an alarm lght because i have the typical red led. Only thing i can think of is that it is from a factory alarm that was possibly swaped out for the current viper system?? Oh yeah ive never seen it lit up just looks to be a plastic lens of some sort...

Yeah, that's just a regular...light. I have one in my car. I think it comes on when you turn on the headlights, but mine is very dim/useless.

It's purpose is to provide a LITTLE light at night so you can see the radio controls if they are not lit up.....Of course if you have a new head unit in there, the LEDs from it glow so bright it overpowers that little bitty light....

Whoo! useless lights! Maybe if you put a better bulb in there and made a new lens, then you might get some actual light from it...
