little yellow aladdin's lamp

Left of the stearing wheel, also looks like an oil lamp (which is what aladdins lamp is) .. is it a low oil indicator? it's intermittent

You might be able to find an owners manual on Ebay. You need the owners manual because theres a lot of different lights that can come on and you wont know what they mean without it.
The light that your talking about might be the one that means exterior lamp isn't working. Make sure the brake lights work.
