Headlight problem - high beam indicator won\'t go off, no headlights
Yesterday morning (cold ~ 10 degrees) I started my 2000 Jetta and noticed that the high-beam indcator on the dashboard came on and stayed on whether I had the lights on or not. As it was daytime, and I had to hurry off to work, I didn't notice that I had neither high or low beams or DRLs. I replaced the bulbs about 4 months ago with those lame blue "Xenon" bulbs, and now I'm wondering if they've fried some wires. I checked the headlight fuses (18-21, or something like that), and they were all fine, but it was dark in the parking lot where I was doing it, and I may have missed something.
Any suggestions on what to check/test/replace, or what caused this situation?
