Default Headlight Issues.

I have a 2008 Street Glide and have recently had some electrical problems. I replaced my voltage regulator about a week ago and when I got home I lost all accessories. Replaced the popped accessories fuse then my headlight stops working. I just replaced the lighting relay even though all other lights are working and nothing. I do get power to the bulb harness on low beam but not high and the high beam indicator does not come on when switched. Any suggestions moving forward?

Why did you replace the voltage regulator?

Is High Beam and High Beam Indicator the only issue now?

Get inside the fairing and find the connector for the Left Side Control Switches, unplug it and inspect the terminals on both halves of the connector, make sure the terminals for the white wire are not pushed back out of the connector.

I replaced the regulator because prior to these issues my bike went into limp mode and threw 6 different codes at once, one being low volts to ecm. I've had that problem with a previous bike and the regulator was the culprit.
I did find a pin that had been pushed in on the harness, pulled it up and it fixed the problem.
