The orange light is used for a 'shift' signal. It means 'shift into the next gear now'.

If your tachometer/rev counter has an adjustable setting for this light, you can set it to come on when you're at peak horsepower or torque and want to shift into the next gear. This comes in handy for getting the best performance out of your vehicle's engine while drag racing. It can also be set up to remind you to shift at a lower rev than normal to help you save fuel.
