Now thats a novel approach to the dash signal indicator. =-)
However, I'd be inclinded to utilize a separate flasher indicator light
tied to a regular two prong flashers output leg.
A question does arrise about using the highbeam indicator;
-how do you get it to blink? Your flasher makes/breaks a 12 volt source. The
highbeam light is fed 12 volts from the headlight switch. You can't light a
light with 12volts on both sides. You need to ground one end or the other.
And doing that, you either have a highbeam indicator, or you get a flahser
indicator but not both. 
I do like the blinken method though. =)
