Default FLHX Headlight Issue

Headlight does not work. Bright indicator stays on even when switched to the dim position. Still no light. Any suggestions?

I'd say check your bulb - sounds like it blew out...??

Yep, that's the way it works. If the bulb, or in my case, the socket goes bad, the high beam indicator stays on.
