Default Help pls. 2019 road king special day running tail lights not working

Hi all. Thanks in advance.
got a 2019 road king special
Went to oakland harley for a replacement tail light bulb
Person sold me wrong bulb. Needed a dual filament with 2 contact points at the bottom. He gave me a single.

I tried to install and I saw the light light up then went out.
After realizing it was wrong bulb, Went back the next day to exchange for correct bulb.

Put new bulb in and noticed the day runners werent working.

The turn and brake portion still works fine, bfine he day running feature isn't working now.

Tried to diagnose myself, couldn't locate a fuse or relay.

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all

@Paulped

Welcome to the Forum from Utah.

Check for DTC's Checking Trouble Codes 2019 Harley Davidsons | Wilkins H-DŽ | Barre Vermont (wilkinsharley.com)

The running lights are controlled by the BCM, J3 - Blue wire. Are all the running lights out? Check for codes and let us know what you find.

I wonder if you could have damaged the circuit board in the taillight? You could unplug the taillight and see if the front lights come on.
