Too much back pressure on your turbo?
Or your running too rich?

Maybe the volcano is about to erupt :?:

I would have thought hot brakes indicator ...

Or is it a glowing (really outboard) drum brake ?

I think it is a glowing wheel bearing :wink:

I agree with ElanDNA. Too much or not enough wheel bearing grease!

It's the wheel bearing failure indicator or ultimate master caution light if you prefer. :shock:

Tire over stressed showing emitted radiation.
Or "tosser" for short.....

Maybe this 'light' is the latest version of the Goodyear (I think) tyres that were made of transparent rubber and which were internally illuminated.

Sometime early in the 1960's saw these on a car outside the Opera house theatre in Manchester, from memory they lit up a a sort of neon orange/red colour,

A thermograph of a wheel and wheel bearing/hub.

Reminds me of some electronic light messages I saw at SEMA years ago, that could be programmed to display flashing messages in the wheels as you were driving. Useful for politely passing messages like "Hang up and drive", to distracted drivers.

Should have used a torque wrench on the wheel nuts.
