Are the high beams working and only the indicator light is not? The indicator light is connected with eh left side high beam. If the high beam is working and the indicator is not, than most likely the indicator bulb itself is burned out. It may also be the Wiring or plug to the instrument cluster. If the high beams are not working or the left side is not working you need to check fuses. If none of the high beams are working and the low beams are, you may have a bad dimmer switch, ( the common name for the high beam switch). Dennis

Afterward, the high beams worked great, and the blue indicator light functioned just fine. Slowly over time it began working intermittently, and now not at all. Any ideas what to look for? I don't want to return it just yet to the mechanic and pay shop time because it was working and now feels like it could be "something else"! Madeline
