Default Headlight Indicator on Dash

I was driving my girlfriends SC to get some snow tires put on the other day. It was raining out and I turned the headlights on. I was looking all over the dash for the indicator to tell me that I had turned them on. I have never driven another SC besides hers. Is there a headlight indicator like in my LS400?

If you look at where on your display you see what gear you are in,.. and the very top,.. you won't see it till you turn the lights to the on positon,.. .it won't light up if it's on the auto light position.

I didn't notice for a while when I first got the car.... but it's there...

Taka, my 93 doesnt have one either I dont think. It has the high beam signal...but Im not sure about the other stuff.
Ill go check right now to make sure. But I actually checked all the lights in the instruction manual to the ones that light up in my car when I first got it (I wanted to replace any dead bulbs), and my windshield wiper fluid one was only thing out...so if it doesnt turn on when I go out now then there isnt one. Ill let you know.

Did earlier SC's have the AUTO-ON feature for the headlights also? I believe the indicator was added when the AUTO-ON feature was added.

The headlight indicator is above the high-bean indicator. It's smack center between the tach and speedo at the top of the dash. It's a green dot with "rays" around its edges.

[Edit]
Actually, the high-beam indicator is slightly to the left and the headlight indicator is slightly to the right. They're at the same height level. And the green dot is actually an upside-down bulb.

so when that indicator is on it means your lights are on? All this time I thought it mean I had a burnt out bulb somewhere, well I did when I first bought the car it had a burnt out foglight bulb so I replaced it and the indicator was still on I was liek what is wrong. Well now I guess i know. haha
