Dash Headlight Icon...NOT!

Hello BMW Experts!
When my headlights are on, the little dash indicator light doesn't go on, but the parking light dash indicators stay on. Is there a little bulb in the dash, or is this something else?
Is the instrument panel easy to take out, pls?

TIA! Murf

BMW F series dash panels don't use bulbs. You have a new car. If there's a problem have your dealer sort it out.

The "parking light" indicator, as you call it, is all there is. It's on for parking lights and also for headlights.

I've never owned a car that had different dash indicators for parking/headlights. My wife's Mazda has the same indicator. If you aren't sure which lights are on--you can just look at the the switch. It's all good.

Well, you sure can't tell if the halogen headlights are on by looking down the road...
