Yes, that worked. I've never seen that before either. Is there an actual bulb/lense there? Or is the light coming through a hole? I'll take a look at mine when I get home tonight.

No No yall all got it wrong it's the light to let you know that you need to change your blinker fluid!!!!!

But serious it's the needle stop, it just fell out it's either in front or behind the cluster. No big deal if it bothers him replace it or put a piece of black tape over it.
