Default Dash security light question?

I've got a stupid question:o
I had to replaced the dash in my car and I notice that the security light is always on. I just may have not noticed this before, but I didn't see this on all the time on the old dash. Is it supposed to go off?

If so, after how many minutes?

Thanks for the info.

Mine's a '92 coupe.

Security light definitley NOT on while driving.

I notice it flashing when I enter or exit the car. Couldn't tell you how long it flashes in each instance, but must be a short time only....maybe 30 sec???

Don't know if it flashes when car is shut off.....haven't looked....but have NOT noticed it flashing when the car is parked.

I am trying to remember...when I turn off the car, pull the key, and open the door it is flashing. Then when I hit the power door lock button is goes solid...then when I shut the door it goes out after 20 seconds. I think...she's been in storage since Oct and my mind is a little fuzzy today.... Mine is a 92 coupe also.

I also have a 67, can’t see the gauges very well at night, did you install the warm white and just pull the cluster out far enough to install new bulbs, that looks great are they dim-able. Ian
