Early instruments, used an LED instead of a blue bulb for main beam warning.
 

If the other lights work in the same headlamp, it won't be the earth, as they share the same earth. So either the high beam bulb element has burnt out, or no power to the bulb, check fuses 5 & 6 as they control the left/right main beam elements.

Whats the problem. If you bought a mild steel exhaust, that's how they come, even the original VW ones. Brickworks sell the same mild steel JP exhausts.

Also check you still have the fibre washer on the distributor shaft, they break up and come out.
