Default green bulb on the speedo when lights are on

so, every time i turn on my lights, this green bulb shows up (above check engine light).... i check all of the lights and they;re all function... nothing burned out. it might sound like a dumb question, but since i dont have an owners manual i would like to find out what it means?

thanks

That light is just there to tell you that the headlights are on.

Question

This must be on a 3rd gen or newer. Do you guys with 3rd gens have an "Auto" setting for the headlamps (like I have in my newer SC)?

If the SC is in "Auto" and the car decides to turn the lamps on, then a little green light bulb indicator at 12 o'clock on the cluster lights up.

Just seein' if it's consistent across the models. My '92 has no "Auto" setting or headlamp indicator.

The 92 Sc does have a green headlight indicator.
If you are missing an owner's manual. Go to lexus . com and go under owners, register your vin and you can order one for FREE!
