Can a rear light be used as a running light?

If your bike’s rear lighting is stock, then you won’t have running lights. The rear turn bulbs are single element, while the fronts are dual element, giving the fronts only ‘running’ light function. Loosing my lone tail light is exactly why I added a kit that turns my two turn signals into tail lights and retains the turn signal function.

Why are my rear running lights not working?

My rear running lights are the only lights not working. I’ve checked the fuses, replaced the circuit boards, replaced the bulbs, resurfaced the ground and tested the sockets. The rear running light plug is the only plug not getting power.

Are there rear running lights on a V-twin?

No rear running lights! Can’t figure it out. Brake light works, rear turns work, but no rear running lights. Fuses have continuity and wires look good. The brake bulb was blown and I replaced it, so I’m thinking maybe I had a surge.

What to do when your running lights go off?

The rear license plate bulb is also illuminated when the running lights are on. Some systems are equipped with a timer that allows the lights to stay on for a predetermined amount of time after the driver has exited the vehicle.

Why are rear lights not working but brake lights are?

If the rear light lights up correctly but does not become bright when the brake is applied then the switch of the brake is faulty. This circuit is connected with the brake pedal – if the switch is out of place or connected incorrectly then the pedal may not be able to complete the circuit correctly.
