My '96 has the same problem. If you don't want to or feel you can't deal with electrical issues, you can just buy the right handlebar pod and swap out the old one. They are still available from Partzilla, etc. Not cheap, but cheaper than asking a shop to fix it. For the past 10,000 miles, my high beam has been spliced into the left running light wire. I just tipped the bucket down slightly. Does just fine until you go to turn left and it goes off, as the running light cuts out when the turn signal flashes. I should fix it correctly, but my NH doesn't have a raison d'etre these days, and I don't ride it at night anyway (and if I do, I do not signal left turns). Anyway, if you want to jury rig it for cheap, you can get some wire connectors from Ace Hardware and splice it into the tach wire or something (it's the one that's dead center in the 9-pin plug in the headlight, I believe). Just don't tell anyone I said this, especially on this forum.
