Default Spot light problem

Ok my E glide classic is having some issues with the spots my main headlight works but when I turn the spots on, the main light goes out my signals in the front go out and my marker light on the front fender and the spots wont come on....Any ideas before I tear it apart?

I am thinking there might be a wire pinched somewhere?

Check you ground wires on the lights good. A little corrosion where it grounds will cause a similar problem. I'm not sure on that year model, but there may be a relay that switches those lights as well. My money is on a bad ground somewhere.

I'd check all the wires.
