Mine does the same thing, it dims with increased engine RPM's. Not sure what it means, I don't drive the car enough to really care at this point.

Find, buy an owner's manual.
1979 - 1981 version shows red light in upper left corner of the instrument box, white circle with dashes around sides. Illuminated : Check brake pads, sensors.
All other dash indicator lights use simple icons that are easily translated.

I think he means the generator light. Mine changes with engine speed.
