My 2010 RTS has had installed several years ago by dealership the Custom Dynamics/ESI:

LED Mud Flap Lights, Bright Sides front fender and Front Fender Tip Kit

All 3 are not working on just the right Side fender wheel - no light.:( Other side is fine.

I had bike at dealership to have a floorboard installed yesterday. Probably just

coincidence :dontknow: but when I got home I noticed the lights

not working, My question is it a fuse or since it's just the right side, is it a

wire that runs out there? Probably doesn't matter as I would not know

how to fix. Just tell me it is an easy fix .:gaah: I am gonna take it back to them but

hope it's a quick minor find so I can ride this holiday weekend.

I have the same Spyder as you do with all the same lights on it and it just sounds like the mechanic just pulled a couple of wires off

Most likely a connection issue.

I just went down stairs and turned on the bike to see if it might have self healed, no it was still not lighting up like the other side. So I hit the " bright side with the palm of my hand and all 3 lights flickered, I repeated this, so that tells me it's a connection and not the fuse. I will go by there tomorrow and wait till they fix it. Thanks for your comments, both of you:thumbup::thumbup:

I find my fender running lights frequently vibrate out of their socket. If the other lights are getting some power from the same circuit, it's possible the disconnected bulb is the culprit, as I've seen it cause my channel lights to go out and flicker. Pop off your running lights and make sure the bulb is still plugged in.

Very simple to do. Grab a small flat head screwdriver, slide it under the front section of the light where the little notch is and lift up/forward gently. The idea is to slide the enclosure backwards while lifting the front section up. Then the top comes off the wiring harness with a simple twist.

I agree that it's a loose connection, the connection should be made under the fender tip light using posi-tap connectors. I would check there and make sure nothing is loose.
