There is nothing there to light up. shouldn't be anything to light up in that area. Some oddly placed car alarm reciever? possibly some theft deterant gps tracker for auto theft? Hopefully nothing like on t.v. with a car bomb and detonator

It's probably O2 sims. I see that you have LT headers, and someone probably installed those to keep the SES light off once the factory manifolds/cats were pulled. Some of the older style O2 sims used to have a red LED in them, I remember seeing those many years ago. These would be located right in the area that you are seeing the lights.

If the car has since been tuned for rear O2 delete, you could just remove the O2 sims.

Yeah it is probably o2 sims. I have this in my winter car, though I think mine is a green LED. I'll snap a pic later so OP can compare.
