| The high beam indicator is too bright on my 2004 chevrolet 3500 drw cc pickup. at night, the light is bright enough to impair the vision of the driver. everytime i drive my truck at night (which is alot in the wintertime in alaska when we have reduced daylight hours) the high beam indicator is so bright that i have had to cover it to reduce the glare and not limit my visibility of oncoming vehicles, moose, pedestrians, etc. *ak | |||
