For the light, i'd say just take it out of the gauge cluster if its that annoying to you - it shouldn't drain your battery considering is a tiny little bulb in there.

As for the "mis fires" to me it sounds like a bent exhaust valve or something. I'm only applying my old honda knowledge here tho. When i had a couple bent valves it would kinda put put a little bit. A good trick to see if you have bent valve is at idle, hold a dollar bill (or 8 1/2 x 11 piece of worn paper if you have a huge canon for an exhaust ) over the exhaust and see if the bill ever gets sucked against the pipe. If it does start savin your money for new valves! if you know for a fact your valves are fine, i wouldn't worry about the put putting.
