Default Temporarily lost passing lights

After a ride last night I noticed when I got home that my passing lights weren't on despite the toggle switch being in the on position. With the bike still running I turned them off and on, nothing. I shut the bike off, turned the ignition back on and they came back on again. Only thing I have changed recently is adding the HD speedo/tach combo, when I installed it everything seemed to be working fine. I did notice in the installation instructions it indicated to check operation of all lights after install, which I did. Anyone experience this?

You didn't by chance turn on the High Beam. The spots usually are wired to only work with the Low beam.
