    That is the bright lights (headlights) indicator. To turn it off or dim the lights press with your left foot the switch on the left on the floor board.

    Don't take it too hard.. we are just funnin' with ya. Between the high beam indicator question and the 20 inch rims I am guessing you are probably early to late teens and didn't have much in the way of anyone to teach you about cars. Keep asking questions and you will learn. Just roll with the comment that we make. I honestly thought the question about the highbeam indicator was hilarious but I didn't say anything because I was a kid once too. There's no dumb questions other than the one's you dont' ask and then you screw something up

    Just wait till he finds out the floorboards are rusted out, when he pushes the hi beam switch through the floor. Been there, done that.

    Yeah, don't take our comments too hard, we're getting old.

    I love this thread.

    Don't feel bad. I had to Google "boomerangs" when I first got here.
    And "belly bar".

    a halo roof is the trim that just stays on top of the roof, like it doesnt come down the quarters at all, im pretty sure

    and dont worry new guy, i ask dumb questions all the time, its all part of learnin... then one day we can laugh at some new guy for thier newbie question

    but the guys here are really good and helpful though
