2011 Street glide taillights
Hello everyone, having some problems with my 2011 Street Glide. Last week I was forced to lay the bike down to stop from hitting a couple cars due to a lady not paying attention. It was low speed about 15 MPH. A short while later I found out my two top taillights were no longer working. I have brake and turn but no taillights. I pulled the bulbs and neither one is burnt out. I have not torn into my bike yet and was looking for some advice before I did.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance!

Might want to rephrase the lay it down part. Your thread is going to go WAY downhill and you will never get an answer to your question...Do a search on "lay it down" if you don't believe me...Good luck getting your lights fixed.

I understand what your saying and thank you, but the whole laying it down may have something to do with my problem. I feel it is an important thing in getting the correct answer.
Start at the fuse panel and then work your way back through the harness if the fuse is good, you could have pulled a wire out of the connector or even broke a wire, when checking the harness start at the connector that is under the seat that goes to the rear tail lights, it may be something simple......Sorry you got put in that situation and hope the bike isn't damaged to bad.
One of mine quit working a few weeks ago and it did not look burned. Brake and turn still worked. I had to replace the bulb to make it work.

Let the insurance company worry about it, get it to your local stealership and let them do the searching. Sorry to hear about your crash, glad you are alright.

Thanks everybody. Checked the fuses and the connectors. Everything looks fine. I'll get some new bulbs and replace them.
I also noticed something today while washing it. In the upper frame where the forks attach to it (Sorry drawing a blank on terminology). It appears there is quite a bit of grease oozing out. Could this also be related to the crash? Or maybe the stealer over greased it at the last service?
