The high beam indicator is supposed to be a smaller bulb and dimmer than the others. You generally run brights at night and for a long time, so you don't want the indicator to be bright and annoying. The others are warning lights that need to be easily seen in the day time.

I run high beam in the day and low beam at night. I use low beam at night so that my auxiliary lights are on. In the day I use high beam to increase my visibility since I have the truck lite LED's lights.

Prot I run the trucklite high beam most of the time too, even at night, I don't get flashed because the light is so directional (which is why it's hard to see in daytime).
I ran my passing lights to my aux circuit so now they stay on with high beam. It's easy I think I posted instructions on one of my threads if you are interested.
And I put yellow bulbs in my passing lights because I like the way they look. Not sure if they are more noticeable or not but I don't think they are less.
