Default Bulb Warning Light

The warning light under the fuel/temp gauge on my GS4 is on , it looks like a green light bulb. I'm at a loss for what it could be, all the lights on the front and back are OK (even license plate). Are there any buggers I may not be thinking about? Could it be the warning light sensor? I don't know where that is.

Any help is appreciated, it's irritating seeing that thing on all the time. Thanks.

Didn't realize this was such a dumb question. The car is telling me I have a burned out bulb somewhere and I've checked all the obvious spots. Just wondered if anyone else had the same issue. I'm not talking about the high beam indicator.

If you had a burnt out light, there would be a yellow indicator light that shows the rear of a car.

The little green sun burst light tells you when your headlights are on

I guess it was a dumb question. The car didn't come with an owners manual and I thought for sure it was telling me I had a problem. Thanks for the replies.

but now i see that light all the time because i like to drive with my hid's and yellow fog lights on if you turn it once more it will turn your side markers on
