Is it bad for your car if you wait for low fuel light to come on before getting gas?

This may be bad
The fuel pump is cooled and lubricated by the fuel and any time it gets even a tiny amount of air in it it will wear and burn out very very quickly.
This is very likely if the low fuel light is on.

What causes a 97 Nissan altima to cut off when you come to a stop light?
If a 1997 Nissan Altima cuts off at a stop light, there is a problem with the fuel getting to the engine. When you are accelerating, there is pressure and a higher flow of fuel, which is why it won't cut off then. The problem could be a leak in the fuel line, the fuel pump itself, or a fuel filter. It will need to be serviced.

You might want to consider having your fuel pump checked out. If you ever let your fuel light come on before getting gas, and you do this often, it can lead to fuel pump damage. Its not a good idea. Get the pump checked out, it may need to be replaced. Either that or you may have a clogged fuel filter or line.
