'63 Avanti R2

In response to my previous post concerning the red light on the top of the console, I'm posting a pic. Does anyone know what this light would be used for?

Never seen that before.  Looks off center too so probably added by a previous owner.

Can you trace the wires and see where they’re connected?

[Dwight FitzSimons]

It's definitely not original, so it's a guessing game as to what it might have been intended to do.  Brake lights?  Oil pressure idiot light?  Parking light brake light?

Perhaps a blinking red light for alarm system or to make people think there was an alarm?

I found a similar light in my car a previous owner had installed. It was connected to an alarm system common to those used in the 80s and 90s.
