Default Side marker lights not working...

I just installed some chrome bling on the tour pack of my Ultra and discovered that the four bulbs on each side of the tour pack are not working. I was wondering if anyone had a idea whats up with this? The back tail/brake lights on the tour pack work just not the side lights.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ride safe.

Either all 4 side marker bulbs have mysteriously all burnt out at once, or the ground or the positive side to all have come off or loose!

not to give a stoopid answer...but make sure you have the harness plugged in correctly. The tour pak side lights have a seperate connection to the tour pak wire harness...sort of like a extension cord set up. They plug into the pak harness under the metal plate on the bottom of the tour pak. If you put the chrome accent side lights in the pak you had to remove the lights from the old side lights and put them in the new light kit. That is a fairly straight forward process. If you have brake lights in the tour pak working then the ground shouldnt be the issue, especially if you have a permanent mounted tour pak rack, not the quick detach rack.

I just recently installed the same side marker light chrome pieces. I fount the same issue. Make sure the wires going into each light housing is securely pushed in. One of mine pulled partially out when I was removing the press fit brass bushing holding the light bar to the Red lens. Simply push the wires in firmly.
