No headlight or running lights
Thought Id try here before troubleshooting. Yesterday I installed my new Z bars, internally wired. Took me forever and a day to figure out how to remove the wires from the connectors. Made a diagram before removing wires, all went together smoothly. To double check, the wires I removed from connectors match the other connector wires color for color so Im sure they are in the correct positions. I tried wiggling the wires in the bar to see if anything changed......nothing. EVERY other function works except for running lights (all 4) and headlamp. It was getting late last night and Im waiting for it to get a little warmer in the basement today before I continue troubleshooting so I figured Id ask will Im waiting

Running lights and headlamp should be unrelated to handlebar wiring, no?
If you don't have a factory repair manual, get one. Wiring diagrams are crucial. Parts manual a good idea too.
That said...any chance you pinched or dislodged the main power lead for the "always on" lights? Meaning the ones that come on with the key...headlamp and running lights. I had a bike once go completely dark on me at a really, really bad time. I got home by engaging the emergency flasher. 12 miles to go on a dark isolated road. Fun. The hot wire that provides power to lighting had gone brittle at the harness and busted off.
Also check for a loose ground, related to lights or not.

same problem
got an 11 48 and had the same light problem couple days ago. is this gonna be an issue with these or is it just cheap parts. I have already replaced both rear lights and one front from failures now a fuse. Only had it 6 mos and got 5k on it...seems like bs to me to have this kind of **** going on already.
