    After changing my high beams to led (trying to see if bulbs work on contact for several times)my high beam indicator burned in cluster,in daytime its not a big deal but in evening becomes very annoying.What could I do to make it dissapear?

    Try putting the old bulbs in and see if the light goes out. If it does then the LED bulbs are the problem.

    My car did the exact same thing after putting in led low beams. Since the resistance is much lower the excess current has to go somewhere I guess. My car is a 97 btw.

    You could try adding a small, non-diode type of load to the high beam side. Like a resistor. Perhaps try adding them directly from the fuse box with a fuse-tap device just for ease of experimenting. I'm thinking the circuit just needs a "path to ground" when the power is off - and the LED is doing a crap job of that. I'd probably start with 1k Ohm resistor, then try a 330 Ohm (or just keep adding more 1k's in parallel until you see a change). 1 watt rating is enough to experiment with.

    The same thing happened to mine although it's relatively dull on low beam and gets brighter on high beam so I can live with it.
