Default High beam indicator

Does anyone have any suggestions on dimming the High beam indicator (blue) light. At night it shines so bright that it is almost blinding. Does anyone else notice this? It affects my night vision so much that I have actually turned off the high beam due to the light. On a long trip I put tape over it. I would like to just dim the thing or something.[sm=boohoo.gif]

Igniter, check out HIGH BEAM LAMP ( http://www.vtwintalk.com/m_20102/tm.htm ).

I know what you are talkin about, that sh@# is bright. I didnt use my high beams very much for a while, generally I still dont, but I got used to it, but at first it was horrible. I just put on passing lamps 2 weeks ago, so I probably wont use the HIGHS too much any more either. You can put some electrical tape over it, maybe nobody will notice!! LOL, other than that I dont know what to tell you, good luck!!
