Default my low beam and passing lights

I went to reinstall my passing lights on my 1992 heritage because the previous owner had taken them off. A friend of mine stepped in and hooked them up but just recently i went down on the right side of the bike and now the low beam and the passing lights do not work but my high beam and turn signals do. Does anyone have a solution?

Nevermind, I don't think 92 softails had fuses. Low beam and spots are on the same circuit on newer bikes.

It has to be one of four things, either 1) you have a blown fuse/bad circuit, 2) the drop dislodged whatever wiring your friend hooked up/tapped into, 3) the switch for the passing lamps crapped out, or last and least likely, 4) all three filaments in the lamps blew out when the bike hit the ground due to the shock of the impact. I say least likely, but if they were all on upon impact, it is certainly possible. Its also possible that you could have more than one of the problems happening together. If you have a voltage tester, it should be fairly easy to narrow it down and find the culprit. If not, maybe you can call back your friend who hooked them up and offer a cold one to diagnose?

You might have better luck posting this in the Evo section. Also make sure your hi/lo switch is good.

when I turn on the high beam it comes on when I go to the low beam is when everything is off except my turn signal lamps and they both flash nothing wrong with them but I did get my hands on a voltage regulator so i'm off to start checking the circuit breakers. Trying to get the friend back over here but he also works. and doesn't drink lol. Thank you both for the replies.

Pull the headlight and check to see if you're getting power to the low beam at the headlight connector.
