Does not appear to be factory...I've owned numerous 911s and haven't had one of those.

That's not factory, somebody added that, so it could do anything. I'd check behind it, if it has wires, trace where they go.

Alarm light ? most were near the fog lights and lighter could be earlier car than mine or after market? (guessing) One of the P-car Wizards will chime in soon.

Not factory. Probably an alarm flasher.

Is it actually a push button, or is it a fixed red lens? It looks like a lot of the "alarm armed" lights I have seen. If it is actually a switch, is it a momentary or single pole push button type switch?

Once when I moved into a new appartment, there was a light switch on the wall that didn't do anything. We used to switch it on and off all the time, until I got a letter from a lady in Germany saying "Cut it out." (Steven Wright)
