This indicates a blown bulb or one thats not working .

Strange  8O Do they work if you turn the headlight switch off then on again ?  Have you got high beam flashers on the stalk ?

Check the bulbs as Chudd said  

after some seriously stern talking with geordy (my golf)  and ripping all the dash apart i discovered the connection on the hazard switch was totally disconnected. think it must have been earthing.
