Running Lights
I'm a complete newbie here so go easy on me.
I have a 2003 883
Luckily at a red light a truck driver yelled at me and let me know that my back running lights were out. I checked out the bulb, but the two 'wires' inside the bulb (the ones that heat up) are intact. Could it be a fuse or something? Or maybe i am missing something when looking at the bulb.

However the tail light lights up with the brake so I was confused
I had an issue with the multi-filament bulbs on mine right after I got it. I had everything but running light, so I took them out and could not see any problem with the filament. I took the bike in and much to my dismay/chagrin the tech replaced the bulbs because the filament was burned out. WTF?!!
Anyhow, I just wanted you to know that I could not see any part of the filament that was damaged, yet somehow it was. I'd try a new bulb for a couple of bucks and go from there.

Its comforting to know that you had this same exact issue. I'll stop by an autozone after work and get a new bulb. Thanks!
