idiot lights

A derisive term for warning lights in a car dashboard or any similar arrangement in a vehicle's cockpit. So called because they light up when the operator is being an idiot and letting something go wrong.

Check Engine, Oil Pressure, Battery...all idiot lights that won't switch off. I need a new car.

Turn your lights on you idiot 

What you say to yourself when you see someone driving with their headlights off at night.

These people seem to not have a clue that the street in front of them is dark. The most likely causes of this idiocy are car gauges are automatically illuminated even with the headlight switch off making one think that their lights are on...or one thinks they have their switch on auto headlights when it is not.

Turn your lights on you idiot before you kill someone!!
