It's to illuminate the controls. Comes on with the sidelights. It tells the people in the back that it's dark outside :).

As Simon says, just illuminates the heater controls. :)
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

They are just joking.................

It's true purpose is to scare the beejaysus out of new Bongo owners.

Yup, this is correct. I've just spent the journey back this evening wondering what on earth it was for!

Due to the vagaries of bf 'unread posts' flagging, I only just read this humorous retort from scanner, which made me chuckle heartily. Whoops, sorry, we were discussing little green lights. :lol:
