 Is that a UFO behind me?, or just my trunk light? |

As some of you know, my little green machine is getting back on the road after 8 years. Tonight i did a serious tune-up trying to get the dwell and timing just right. I got things like I wanted them and decided to take her for a spin. Since I sort of live out in the country, I opened her up once I got to the main road - she absolutely wanted to SCOOT. As I was coming around a bend I caught a light from behind out of the corner of my eye.
At first I thought a car? No. A cycle? No. What the heck is it? UFO? Nope. Finally stopped and saw that it was my trunk light. I was driving without the engine cover and the light was brighter than ever. This leads me to a question. Is this light on all the time that the headlights are on? (And I've just never noticed it when I was driving the car years ago?) Thanks, Chris oh- and I guess that I should probably go ahead and get tags on this thing now. |

It's on whenever the headlights are on.
I drove my car around for awhile without the engine lid on and at night it looked pretty rice... |

The light is in the rear trunk so you're luggage does not get scared in the dark. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif)

Thanks. It's good to know that I don't have another electrical issue.
