The lights are called idiot lights.
therefore a cluster of lights is a idiot cluster.
..
They call them Idiot lights because even an Idiot can see that something is "up" when the light goes off!..( I didn't name them,so sue me!)
As opposed to looking at a Real Factual/functioning gauge.
hmm, that seems high..I wonder what that does..is it bad?..it must be ok..Poof,smoke..ERRT!..I guess not..hello Triple A???
