Default 2016 Street Glide no running lights

Okay guys here's my issue. I've got the '16 SGS, over the winter I changed to LED bulbs front and back from CM aftermarket lighting. Also added in some Aux lights working off the fairing switch and an alarm speaker connected into the factory plug. Everything worked fine in the garage with just the power switch to run and the bike actually running. The front lights had the nice white ring and then turned yellow when turn signal or flashers used, the rears were amber as they should have been. Went for a ride today and got the dash warning light. Come home and I have no running lights at all. Put the originals back in and the same. Put the lights in my buddies '16 and work as advertised. I checked all the fuses on the panel on the left side and they are good. Someone mentioned that I might need a load equalizer?, but I thought '14 and up didn't need that. Anyway anyone have any idea on what circuit provides power to all the running lights so I can start there or any other ideas please? TIA

The running/position lights are powered right out of the BCM. Did you check for DTC's?

Thank you Vernal. I’ll keep these diagrams for future use.
I checked a bunch of connections and the lights were still off. Said screw it let’s try a system reset and pulled main fuse for a minute or so—voila all lights work. It’s FM—freakin magic
I have no idea what glitched, but I hope it doesn’t do it again.

Did you remove the main fuse and power the bike on for 1 minute? Then turn bike off and put fuse back in and power up?

I don’t know how I’d be able to power it up if I removed the main fuse so never tried. Just removed it a few minutes and reinstalled and everything worked.

I think what silver meant is pull the fuse and turn ignition on. If there are any charged capacitors keeping memory active they may drain with the ignition on. There have been a few times with my Laptop that it gets unresponsive so I unplug it, pull the battery and hold the power button down for 30 seconds or so. Not certain why but it seems to get the computer back in action
