Default no tail lights?

I noticed that the tail lights on my Heritage are not working.

My blinkers and brake work, just no rear running lights?

Is it possible that I accidentally unplugged them?
I checked the wires near the actual light...they appear to be snug.

???

I think the only light that works on the back is the center red light, no running lights without the adapter. The running lights(yellow) are only blinkers If you have the adapter disregard this post

the bulb is a dual filiment bulb. I have had the running light go out on me twice and the break light still worked. Check the bulb because mine was intermittnat and looked to still be attached but it wanst making good connectivity.

I thought the rears turned on with power right?

They are not supposed to work. Ur main Brake light is the only running lite U have.
The turn sigs are just that, turn only..

Unless U buy and install the Turn/Run/Stop plug in ..

Got mine at the 1k service, PN, 69465-06,, don't know what they are now but, 3yrs ago they were $54.99..

IMO well worth the price to be lit up better in the rear at night.
