Default Need some help PLEASED
About to head out for an evening ride, backing bike out of garage saw that hi-beam indicator lamp was on but no headlight. Switched to low beam, still no headlight. CRAP!!! Searched here, but really couldn't find anything. Checked Service Manual, NOTTA. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Pulled the housing out. Turned ignition on, light came back on(high & low beams)

WTH??? Checked the ground, guitar, thanks for the input, but it was secure. Put everything back together, still working for now. Screw it & ride!!!
