The light is probably the orange "check engine" light, not the electrical light.
The sensors are "lambda" (from the Greek letter "λ") sensors, also known as oxygen sensors. They sense oxygen in the exhaust gases to ensure the fuel injection system provides the right amount of fuel for the engine to run at the optimum air-fuel ratio (known as λ=1).

I think Neil is right but I had an Impreza that had a failure in the 'crank angle sensor' which also caused the orange 'engine' light to come on.
