It has a B in the center and is an idiot light to tell you that one of your brake circuits has failed. It only lights while you are trying to use the brakes. Pretty pointless, by the time it lights up, your foot has already gone to the floor and you already KNOW there's a PROBLEM. For 68-71 you press the lens and it lights up to tell you that the bulb is okay. For 72-3 the light should come on with the generator and oil light when you first turn the key to on; then it goes out when the engine starts. The late versions often suffer a semiconductor failure and cease to work.
