Default Running light not working

So here's the problem. I installed auxiliary lights on my bike today and when I turned the bike on to see if they work, the right running light was not on. When I pushed the right turn signal button, it would flash like it's supposed to. I switched the connector back to the stock signals, to see if that would fix it, and the same problem happened except now it was the left turn signal not working. This leads me to believe that the problem is on the bike side and not on the lamp side of the connector. But why would the problem switch lamps? How should I proceed to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Well I have good news and bad news. The bad news is I'm a dunce. The good news is I fixed the problem. It was a bad bulb...or two I guess if you count the stock signal as well. What a coincidence that both failed at the exact same time. So suffice to say, I'm a very happy camper.
