Haha, built in shift-light.
I was going to say alternator when I read the thread title, but that's seriously weird dude. Sorry, can't help.

Is the belt slipping on the alternator at high rpm?

sounds like alternator problem to me, but usually the light would come on at idle, and then go out at high rpm.
check to see it's charging using a multimeter.

Voltage regulator in the alternator. The alternator output is engine speed dependent, but is limited to about 14V by the regulator when engine speed increases.
