So for a  long time now my high beam indicator LED has not  been
working.

    Ed, just one small problem that may have caused  your melt
down........the hi beam indicator bulb is not an LED !  Never had  blue LEDs back when that
Vanagon of yours was manufactured.  That blue bulb  is actually a miniature
incandescent bulb.  They are only available from  your friendly neighbourhood VW
dealer or someone like me who ordered up a mess  of them and keeps them in my
stock pile.
