Connecting the rf to the safety box

When connecting my rf unit to my safety box i was thinking that the light in the middle of the antenna part would light up when power was supplied, am i wrong in thinking this?
also no real good places to mount the antenna in back of my car down low, daves not in on saturdays does anybody know if it hurts to mount it say up on the wing struts since its a dragster
thanks don

 

The light only lights when the correct Freq is near. sometimes NHRA goes around and checks them in the pits for correct operation.
