removed turn signals, now lights don't work
I removed the front turn signals on my hyper recently, and since I've been indecisive about which ones to replace with, I just left them off. Since then, it seems like my front and rear lights don't work anymore. When I pull the trigger for highbeam flash it works, and the brake light comes on when the I use the brakes. Any ideas?

Well, since the brake light works without the lights fuse (found this out at a
track day when I got flagged-- Doh!), I'm betting the fuse got blown. Maybe
an open ended turn signal connection shorted to ground and blew the fuse?
The lights fuse is a 15 amp in the fuse box under the right side panel. You can
see the black rubber lid of the fuse box with a flashlight, just look down into
the slot on the side panel. The lid is held on the front/outside by a soft rubber latch.
You can pop the lid without taking the side panel off, but it takes some amount
of fiddling... very thin fingers or a hooked tool.

removal
I pulled off all my turn signals and license plate light for a track day and the headlight still worked. Tail light only worked with the lever.
Any chance you unplugged the headlight when pulling the signal wires out???? Just a thought

weird how things happen.

You probably need to buy more smoke to put back in the wires and unplugging them has clearly let it all out

You most probably doucheboxed the fuse, smell it. If it smells like tuna. It's douchedboxed.
