Narrative:
On approach to ZZZ xxl; first officer called for landing checklist. We noticed no illuminated green 'leading edge flaps extended'. We did go-around and got vectors in the area at 3;000 feet while working the problem. I could not find a QRH (quick reference handbook) checklist for the omission of that light. The first officer (first officer) and I exchanged controls. He was also unable to find a QRH checklist for this problem. While being vectored we extended the flaps and could visually see by looking out our windows that the leading edge flaps were indeed extending normally; and that it was an indication problem. The following lights were not illuminating at all. Leading edge flap transit; leading edge flap extend; and the overhead leading edge devices indication lights. After triple checking no checklists would cover our problem; and after we verified the leading edge devices were fully extended; we made a normal flaps 30 uneventful landing. After landing the pseu (proximity switch electronics unit) light illuminated.
