VW Golf VI - No Dipped Beam Symbol On Speedo - Jack111

At first service mentioned fault that no green symbol for Dipped Beam appeared although the blue Main Beam light was working.

I was told that this was deliberate but first car that I've driven to not have a Dipped Beam display and it is in the handbook though it covers umpteen variants.

Anyone come across anyhing similar?

Seemed good main dealer and had the experience of looking at 60 plate Mercedes SLS/gull-wing F1safety car at front door; lovely sound and look in classic silver.

I don't think this car has a dipped beam warning light.In fact i can't think of many cars that do ,apart from a few Renault models.I would think it is fairly obvious if the dipped lights are turned on,so do you need a warning light?

RE Jack111 initial query

Yes not a problem with illuminated switch showing lights on and can recognise status as dipped or main from main beam warning; just new to me.
