A high beam indicator is standard equipment on all instrument clusters. This indicator is located near the upper edge 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.

The high beam indicator is serviced as a unit with the instrument cluster.
