'I have a very dim "High beam" indicator light.'  

I'm not sure if you have the same problem but my bus (-88 1,6 TD) used to have dim HB light and finally it gets totally black.  I was sure the bulb has gone and try to supply + 12 V directly to meter unit connector T14 pole 2 => the bulb hasn't gone and it is really bright!

After few investigations I found the fault.  The signal from high beam to the dash HB indicator light is got out from connector C pole 17 (fuse box) and wired inside the fuse box to connector A pole 28.  The fault was inside the fuse box (discontinuity).  I make jumper wire (outside the fuse box) from C17 wire to A28 and since that my HB indicator light has been working well.

Hope this helps,
