100,000 mile question

Well maybe 200,000 miles, I'm the 2nd owner, but not sure if the first owner had rolled it.
Took these of the long horn today, and was wondering which Hi beam light indicator was used more. The round like pictured or the rectangle. I have seen both but have noticed if there was a year or model difference???

I'm hoping you weren't in the 5 o'clock traffic taking the pics:p

I don't think any of the trucks I have have the rectangle,I believe they're all round.
Maybe it was part of an option package

I was thinking that someone here had determined that the rectangular indicator was with the idiot light cluster.

I am just as stupid as the rest of you guys. I get a kick out of watching the digital clock change from 11:59 to 12:00.

BraveDave As long as you don't sit for hours and watch it blink 12:00...12:00...12:00 waiting on 12:01, I think you will be ok.

I know I have the rectangle on part of mine, will have to look again to see which ones, but all are full clusters (less Tach)

brainchild Was on the way to work this morning around 6:45 mainly country back roads. Lights were on and a lot of fog or I would have got a road shot.

Luv Pm back at you. see you Saturday for the cook out.
