speed warning dash i think ?

not sure but i head of these speed warning dashes . what are they exactly ? the reason i ask is i was testing my wiring on the 72 and i noticed a red light at the 50 mile per hour mark . Is this considers a speed warning dash or did someone switch out the high beam bulb . I looked at my other clusters and they dont have a light there just a space for one .just curios thanks. sorry no pic i actualy lost my camera duh

they all had it. Some were round, some were rectangle... but ALL 67 - 72 trucks had a red high beam indicator.

I've got an "overspeed" indicator in my fuel gauge (as well as a tandem lock indicator so I suspect it was out of a larger machine)
