I knew age could be a factor but was wondering where is best to start looking

I would have speculated that it might be related to a ground/earth/negative path return in the fairing assembly since that is common to lights and turn signals. Maybe the headlights are trying to ground themselves through the high beam warning causing it to illuminate - just a wild guess.
Usual suspects are plugs/sockets because corrosion can build up and cause issues. So separating connectors, inspecting/cleaning and spraying with a contact cleaner is a good idea. Other issues are caused by the constant turning of the handlebars stressing and breaking wires.

Yeah it could be ground as if there was a problem with the block connector no light should show on the dash maybe? But i was thinking maybe the block connector behind the radiator as thats what happened when my low beam wire burnt out but there was no lights coming up on the dash. Suppose its one of those things of process by elimination. Ill start with checking the ground first. Do you know where the ground points for the headlight is?
