Far left is rear light indicator. It goes on when the car cant get electricity to a rear light, since most people dont notice rear lights unless your in the car behind you.

Maybe a connector came lose, but reconnected or something. Get a friend to check your rear lights for you just in case. Put the headlights on, Hazards on, and try it with the brakes on and off to veryify all the lights are working.

assuming ur not talking about the low fuel light, im guessing its the brake light. mine flashed on and off for a while like your's, so i just replaced the bulb (about $2.50) and that took care of it. while ur back there, u might want to switch ur brake lights and turn indicator lights. put the clear ones into the turn light housing, and the amber ones into the brake lights. that way u get clear turn signals 8)

FYI, clear signals in the rear are illegal. Most cops dont care though, but just to let you know if you plan to do that.

yea... the clear in da rear r illegal but you're too late man... i already did that... it kinda makes me nervous during the day cuz u can barely see them but once the sun sets... it looks nice...i don't bother using my turn signals any more cuz its not like the car next to u would slow down and let u get in front of them... thats here in houston though...i don't know about elsewhere.o yea... the only thing the turn signal would cuase the other guy to do is keep u boxed in... laters

Another houstonian here... :angel:
I know that feeling...you give the indicator..the space narrows even more...Houston's the only place in the world that i know drivers drive up faster when someone indicates....(BTW: my white hyper bulbs i can see in the day light as well). ...they are more visible in the night granted..but in the day..they are visible.
