Hi-Beam Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation
Description
DESCRIPTION
A high beam indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near the top of the cluster overlay, between the
speedometer and the tachometer.
The high beam indicator consists of a stencil-like cutout of the International Control and Display Symbol icon for High Beam in the opaque layer of the
instrument cluster overlay. The dark outer layer of the overlay prevents the indicator from being clearly visible when it is not illuminated. A blue Light
Emitting Diode (LED) behind the cutout in the opaque layer of the overlay causes the indicator to appear in blue through the translucent outer layer of
the overlay when it is illuminated from behind by the LED, which is soldered onto the instrument cluster electronic circuit board.
When the exterior lighting is turned ON, the illumination intensity of the high beam indicator is dimmable, which is adjusted along with the cluster
illumination lighting using the panel lamps dimmer control sleeve on the left multi-function switch control stalk.
The high beam indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
