Default 69 Roadster Headlamp Warning Light

Just wondering when the headlamp warning light in the dash should be on, should it be on when the headlamps are turned on or do I have something wired up wrong?? It;s the red light where the door ajar light is in the centre console above the gauges.. Cheers..

When they are fully up or down, it should be off.

Roadsters don't have rollup windows......

So basically the light should come on as the headlights are going up or down and then turn off once there up/down??
