Second and highly suspect, is wires in wrong location on the outside low/high beam bulbs. Terminals are the same for halogen and sealed beam. Wires on the wrong terminals would cause feed back problems that would explain the high beam indicator being on on both low and high. Both elements in the bulb would be lighting up at the same time instead of one at a time.

Could try un-plugging the outside low/high beam bulbs just to see if turn, park and high beam indicator work like they should.

Definately got to check grounds for every light and that the core support is grounded good.

Will need updates on this one

Thanks for the input Clay. When I hook the battery back up I'll try your suggestions.

One correction on your reply, the high beam indicator is on when the low beams are on, and OFF when the high beams are on.

I noticed that after going back and reading through things again.

The indicator light wire is inside the car. Either at the dimmer switch or bulkhead connector. If the dimmer switch pigtail has been changed, swapped, monkeyed with in general...the low and high wires could be in the wrong location there. Making low beams high and high beams low. "About" the same as wires in the wrong place at the head light bulbs.

Your left/right turn being swapped makes me think some others are mixed up.

Should be easy enough..just gonna take some studying/testing
