Just checked my car there, my light is in the lower part of the cluster inbetween the rev counter and speedo. I think your light will be the same as mine.

hhaha he said vtech, it's not a phone buddy

yeah HXs I believe got the little gay change gear light, so do CXs not sure about VX. It's ment for fuel economy, so you don't rev high. It's trying to tell you to shift.

Thats getting old

And yea the light is designed to tell the driver the best shift point for gas milelage. also if you go full throttl it will turn off, and back on close to the redline.
