Narrative:
We were on final approach; when I dropped the gear; the left main indicator light did not come on. I radioed tower that we had a problem and did a go around. The tower verified the gear was down on the fly by; we recycled the gear at that point. On the second drop still no green light for the left main. I then went through the emergency gear drop procedure and still failed to get a green on the left gear. We had the tower verify the gear were down a second time on approach and landed. The plane landed on all three gear; but the left gear collapsed on roll out.
