Bad bulbs? I assume you’re talking about the turn signals which double as running lights and not the spot lamps, yes?

Perhaps the plug is not connected tight. Are you the original owner and they just stopped working or did you just acquire the bike and they don’t work?

Headlight on high beam? By default the spots do not work with high beam, dealer can program them to work together.

Did you check fuses? Perhaps you popped one.

Make sure high beam isn’t on. Make sure dash panel switch is on. If it is, the switch could be bad.
