weird high beam indicator and headlight
I turn on ignition switch and even though the light switch is in low beam position the blue high beam indicator light is on and the headlight is NOT on at all..Then after I start it the blue indicator turned off and headlight was on..THEN I tried it again and back to blue indicator with no headlight...Tried it again and all is normal...
Anyone have anything similar happen? Any ideas??

I replaced bulb this morning and so far so good. I've had headlight bulbs burn out a few times but never had the blue hi beam indicator act this way.. oh well as long as it's fixed.. hope it stays fixed..

It was the low beam filament, it was broken and laying on the high beam filament in the bulb. Causing a back feed, illuminating the high beam indicator bulb, until vibration shook it loose or it burnt off. Did you still had high beams? If so, that was it.

Either that or it's kinda like a "idiot light". I have old VW's and when the GEN goes bad it activates the light. It's wired how it works!
