i am having a bit of trouble with the indicator light for high beam, on my instrument cluster.  At first I thught it was the bulb but have replaced this and didn't make a difference. If I had a schematic for the wire and pin layout on the instrument cluste rhandshake connector I could test on the socket for the high beam indicator light but so far haven't found one in the technical manual.  I have had a look under "connections"  but can't find it there either.  can anyone help plse?

I'll try.  ;)
The wiring diagrams are located here: http://www.sl113.org/wiki/Restricted/ColorWiringDiagrams

Here is a photo showing the male hand shake connector at the end of the cable coming from the center cluster - at least I hope it is, so please verify.
In Achim's wiring diagram the wire is labeled "h" and should be white with a blue stripe.
Hope this helps but let us know if you find something different.
