Wierd dashbard light behavior - 2002

Starting this morning, every time I put my car into gear (not when I turn it on, when I take it out of park) the light for the "always-on headlights" flashes on and off about 6 times then the service light comes on.

I haven't noticed any change in how the car works, and but it only started happening today.

Any thoughts?

That's the indicator for the DRLs, the flashing indicates a bulb is burnt out or a wire is open. Try replacing the bulbs (replacing the pair is strongly suggested for even light, plus since they're used for the exact same time as the other they usually burn out at about the same time.
