Default Running light problem

Ok guys, so I just got my bike back together. I was trying to figure out how to delete the front blinkers and makethe rear still work properly. I was using a jumper (dumb) where the front blinkers plugs into themain harnessand I got a little pop. It fried my aftermarket harness for the rear blinker to brake/running light conversion.

I don't remeber them not working at that time, but now the headlight doesn't come on and the frontblinkers don't run dim all the time. The blinkers do function properly there are just no running lights in them.

Do you think I could have blown the running light filaments in the front blinkers and blown the headlight bulb, and the blinkers still blink?

What do I need to look into to fix it?

I hope this post doesn't confuse you guys as much as I just confused myself typing thislol.
