Remote high beam indicator possible?

Any ideas on locating a remote high beam indicator [top of dashboard?]. Is it even really possible?

I'm 6' 9" and with any driving position I can't see the HB indicator worth a cr@p in my 2011 F250 unless the steering wheel is resting on my legs.

Sure. Just hook a simple bulb up in parallel with the existing one.

So it can be done, thanks. That's the info I was looking for.

I'll have to find someone with the smarts more better than me 'cause I have many skills [most of which are not generating income] but anything electrical isn't one of them.

It should be pretty easy. The high beam wire is right in the column so it should be easy to get to. All you need then is a ground connection.
