The red "light" is actually a reflector. Cost-cutting

the ticking sound is your car cooling down...any super-heated engine/exhaust joints will move/expand against each other when cooling down producing a ticking noise as they do so. happens on all cars if they get pretty hot.

zeroday, yeah, that's my guess too. I was just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt since all cars do that.

Really? I've never heard a car that didn't do it at least once in a while.
