So the clock unit contains some technical part which controls the main battery that is used for starting the car?
Wow- that seems weird...

This lamp is part of the generator charging circuit and needs to be present and working in order for the battery to be charged while the engine is running.

Interesting, will have a look at the diagram.
I was going to ask if it merely had to be present but ToreB stated it needs to also be working (I don't doubt him). Interesting potential point of failure. Sounds like I'm replacing the bulb in mine just to be safe.

If you do drive without then when you reinstall the clock most likely the air bag light will be illuminated. You will need to have that removed via OBDII.
