Default electrical problem
I recently installed a new kuryakyn tail light which is plug and play and new bars internally wired. Now when I turn on my left side turn signals, there is a slight wine and then neither side works. if I disconnect the rear turn signal, the front works fine. I also blow a fuse when I put on my high beams. The right side works fine. It would be greatly appreciated if someone might be able to give me a clue of what the problem is.

I doubt the tail light is to blame.
I suspect the wiring in the bars is incorrect.
I'd go back to the original bars and wiring and see what happens.

That's what I'm thinking or maybe I did something in the bar housing.

Check where your controls clamp to the bars. Many you pinched some wires.
