Default Electrical Help Touring

2011 Road King 9K: Rode yesterday and headlight, driving lights (spots) and running lights all working. Started to leave out today and I see on the garage wall the headlight working, but no driving lights. I toggled switch and toggled high beam to low beam, no aux lights with any combination. I checked owners manual and they list a lighting relay, headlight fuse and lights fuse.
Can anyone tell me if there is a fuse for only the aux lights (spots) all other lights work.
Is there a connector in the headlight bucket? what kind of connector or wire colors to trace. Is there an in line fuse for the driving lights? (aux, spot) No, I do not have an electrical manual and would appreciate any input.

Looks like a Y(yellow) wire from the low beam headlight circuit goes to the aux light switch. G/BK (grey/black) from aux switch to spotlights. A 2 pin connector (#73A & B) between switch & spotlights

GP, took time today to dive into my aux lights being out. I started at the fuse box, all was well there. I removed headlight and went inside the housing and started tracing wires by color's that you supplied. A few minutes of digging, I went to follow the wires to the toggle switch on the rear of triple tree. I found the white plug from the headlight to that switch had come apart. Reinstalled and all is well. Once again, thanks for your input.
