When you turn on the parking lights..................and when you turn the headlights on........you ain't gonna believe this but it will stay on.
It's just the parking light's man....they usually light up amber up front and red at the back....no flashing or anything fancy. They just light up when you turn the Parking lights on.

hey bro, i'm just teasing...if you've seen other posts of mine, i'm a real sarcastic SOB. i dont mean anything by it
i think its called a parking light because you would put them on when youre parked with the engine running and you dont want anyone to hit you while youre sitting in the car

Taestee,
if you have a 02-03, the little bulb you are talking about stays lit up whenever the parking light are on. The turn signal 1157 is a dual filament bulb. One filament stays on like the mystery bulb and the other filament lights up when the turn signals are on.
As for the mystery bulb and it's purpose, I believe D.O.T. reg's requires the amber reflector (red at back) to be illuminated when the parking lights/marker lights? are on. It's often located on the sides of the forward fender/bumper and rear quarter panels on some other cars and separate from the headlight housings. They are meant to be seen from the side.
