Stephane,
I may be wrong, but I think you have been DPO'ed.  To my knowledge, the
only lamp on the dash (aside from those in the gauges) is the one
between the Tachometer and Speedometer.  That of course is the turn
signal indicator.

Any other indicators were probably added by the previous owner and
therefore, only he can tell you what it is.  My suggestion is to do some
wire tracing and see where they lead you!

Good Luck,
Joe
