Welcome to back to roots motoring! There is no high beam flasher or indeed high beam indicator, except on some odd older cars, so the only way to flash is to twist the stalk and remember when on main/dip setting, stalk towards is main and away is dipped.

German cars have a high beam flasher and as I recall the wiring is there for a light you just have to figure it out and add one.

However I find just by looking out of the windscreen I can tell if I am on hi or dip beam :lol: :lol:
