idiot light definition


  1. n.
    a light (instead of a meter) on a car's dashboard that indicates the state of various things concerning the operation of the car. (Alludes to these lights' elimination of the knowledge required to interpret a meter reading, making them suitable for idiots.) : I don't want idiot lights. I want meters!
