passing/driving lights fuse

Both passing lights went out at the same time. Where is the fuse for these lights?
Thanks,

You need to pop off the seat as the fuse block is under seat. They'll be a plastic cover you pop off to access fuses. Is your headlight working? I thought the passing lamps just tapped off them but not absolutely sure.....

Thanks acchd. I already checked the fuses under the seat and none were blown. Thats why I thought there might be an inline fuse or something.. Yes the headlight works and yes I have the low beams on and the switch on the fork for the passing lights is switched on.

Ok do you have a volt/ohm meter? If you do pop off one of the passing lamps assy and check for 12volts at bullb. If you got 12volts then remove & disconnect the H4 bulb and measure it for continuity(short) from base of bulb(ground) to single wire. If it measures open then bulb is just bad.

No I don't have a volt meter and am embarrassed to say I wouldn't know how to use it anyway. lol

No problem. I see your bike is a '08 so I guess you got the warranty thing going on. It could just be the H4 bulbs blown but it's unusual for both of them to blow at same time. Let us know how you come out.
