Head Light Question

Last evening I noticed a problem with my headlights. When I turn the head lights on, two indicators light up on the dash, both in the speedometer section of the console. One is blue and the other is green. I don't recall two indicators coming on before. Is this normal?

My problem is when I went to turn the fog lights on. No indicators went on in the dash, although I recall that an indictor would light up in tachometer section of the dash. Then I checked the lights when I parked the fog lights were not going on. Just to be sure, the fog lights are the inner set of lights, right?

Anyone else have a problem with their lights?

Thanks
Mike

high beams

Looks like you have the high beams on because of the blue light you see in your dash, pull the headlight lever close to you, that will turn them off, and since you have the high beams on, the fog lights don't turn on. Once you have your low beams on, the fogs should go on fine and you'll see the light by your tach.

That must be it. I noticed this "problem" yesterday when I was driving in the rain and was using them for daytime running. Thanks for the quick response.

Regards,
Mike

Peace.


If you turn the head light on, the headlight indicator ON.
If turn foglight on, headlight & foglight indicaors ON.
If using highbeam, foglight OFF and headlight & highbeam indicators ON.


If you use highbeam, I'll beam you back whenever you're using it in daytime or night. So you should know what happens.
