Here's a close up:

Makes it hard to keep my lunch down looking at that.

It's part of the Middle East instrument package. It's a tri state LED that monitors the 50cal turret gun.
Red indicates barrel overheat or jam
Amber indicates not loaded
Green indicates locked, loaded, and ready to go.
I also like the fact it's turning 6500 RPM and is going about 138 MPH. This one has had a performance upgrade!:D

Technically not an Autocycle, it's a trike version of a motorcycle. Same category as VW trikes. Commonly one just calls them trikes or motor-trikes.
In the case of the Slingshot, also a motorcycle, it's called a ReverseTrike or RT for short.

Before the fed/state redefinition, the Elio would be called an RT, or for me a RT-Cabinscooter, but now formally an Autocycle, or more exactly an Autocycle-RT (Autocycle Reverse Trike).

(Commonly, the word 'tadpole' has been depreciated from nomenclature to adjective)

Also technically speaking, the Subaru X100 used to be a 'motor-trike' but would now be an "Autocycle-Trike". (not RT, see image)
BTW, the x100, gets over 100mpg.
