what is a pilot light good for?

Hi, mine never lights up. May be busted. What is it good for anyway?

Thanks,

Its a throwback to the past now redundant save for parking. Unfortunately its an mot must have so you need to fix it.

Only exception are some imports that dont have them. Jap imports for example.

not sure about USA MOT equivalents?

[Cynic]

Oh american.

Cant see a location on the mobile forum.....Alex?

Not a requirement for the DMV. Could it be a high beam indicator? My high beam switch is busted.

Cynic, what do you mean by parking?

Thanks.
