Anyone know what this light is?

Like the title says, I don't know what this light means. It came on for a split second as I was pulling away from a stop light, and then went off again. Hasn't come on since except for when all the dash lights come on when you put the key in. Maybe a bulb that's supposed to be somewhere else?

I would have to guess some one put the bulb for the check engine light in the wrong spot.

That's what I thought too. And then I thought, "but then why is there a spot for a green light there?"

the fog lights and euro rear fog lights both light up green. It's possible someone took out the check engine light and put in a color gel from another spot.

I was thinking rear fog, too...
