Numpty question: what does this light do?

What is the yellow-ish warning light for on the instrument panel, beside the seatbelt warning and "door open" warning? I honestly don't know. I think it's the right-most warning lamp on that lamp cluster. It's a plan view of the car, with what looks like the rear lights lit up.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

I know the one you are talking about...

I've had it come up a few times on mine, can't help but wonder if it is something to do with emissions perhaps??

It looks like a fog light style display, but it definitely is not fog lights.

Tail light bulb failure warning indicator

Do you mean the bulb-out indicator? Lets you know you have lost a brake light bulb. Sometimes if your rear fogs are wired up incorrectly, I've seen some where this lights up on the first application of the brakes when you have your fog lights on.

Thanks guys,

It seems to make sense from the icon that it's a tail light malfunction warning. I'll double-check my tail lights (including brake lights), but I 80% sure they're working OK. The fog lights are wired into the inner rear lights, so maybe it's that that's causing the warning.

If you used pete betts fog light wiring, I modified his diagram so the bulb failure still works as it should. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=42029

trick,

All the fog light work was done by a previous owner. But judging by the quality of some of the other workmanship on the car, I'm not 100% confident that it was done properly! Thanks for the thread link, I'll follow that up.
