electric fault

For the main beam warning light, check if there is a small rubber boot between the place where the bulb clips in and the warning light outlet on the face of the speedo. If it is not there, or displaced, there may be some stray light from the speedo illumination lamps leaking through thus showing the light always slightly on when the lights are on. Check it the easy way by using the face illumination switch under the dashboard, lights on, speedo illumination lights off.

I have exactly this problem, made me think my oil pressure was low. I'll give it a check tomorrow. Thanks!

Dip and main are same watts on my lights, and most others - any difference is so tiny there won't be a significant difference in the brilliance of the extremely low power warning light!! As far as these lights are concerned the battery (unless old/failing) is pretty much an 'infinite' source of current.
