Default Breakout headlight trouble

Hey guys jusy fitted a victory headlight to my breakout. It comes with 2 circuits a high beam and a lo beam. Each circuit has a postive and a negative each.

The breakout harness has 4 wires. A negative, a park light, hi and lo. I wired the hi and lo to each individual postive of the headlight. I than spliced both negatives of the lo and hi beam and connecyed to the single negative on the harness. And i left the park light blank.

I now.have no light but the hi beam indicator on the dash works?

Thanks

Did you check the wiring with a meter to verify your work?
