I'm having the same problem.  Is replacing the bulb going to fix the problem
or is there something else that can cause that?  Replacing the bulb should
be an easy job since you only have to remove the instrument cluster.

Listers:
        I have a very dim "High beam" indicator light.  I can't see if my
high beams are on until its really dark outside (what's the fun in
that).  I was planning to replace the bulb, but I wonder from some recent
posts if cleaning contacts at the headlight switch or elsewhere would be a
better initial step.
        If you see a Wolfram Syncro Westfalia driving at dusk with
highbeams on, that's me.  If you flick your highs at me, I probably think
you are saying hello, and I will wave back.

Thanks.
Alan.
