brights indicator problem

well I was checking all the lights on the car today and I turned the headlights on and noticed the bright indicator was on. I thought my brights where on so I pulled the switch and it went away but then noticed that my brights where on but the indicator wasnt and when the normal lights are on. The indicator is on?


so In short
the indicator is pretty much opposite of what it should be. On=brights off

indicator off=brights on.

Re: brights indicator problem

Your description of this problem gave me a headache. Has the car ever been wrecked? Sounds like an idiot hacked your headlight wiring and got it hooked up backwards.

You could just leave it be...and 'know' that when your high beam indicator is on that your low beams are actually on....easy fix brah.

Do you use a screwdriver to start it?
