running lights....not running

So I took my bike up to the dealership to have them look at some stuff on my bike. My instrument cluster fried (which i'm working on getting a new one) and I got it back. I rode it to work today and when i got off tonight, i noticed that none of the running lights are working. My head light/high beam, turn signals and brake lights work. Is there any suggestions to what may be causing this little issue i can check before i tear into the bike and wiring diagrams????

maybe you just got unlucky and both of the running light filaments in the bulbs burnt out at the same time.

Do the blinkers appear to blink brighter or dimmer than they did before? How about faster or slower? If the shop had to undo the wiring, they may have reversed your running light wire with the ground - easy to do if you have aftermarket blinkers that don't have the same color wires as the factory harness.

Otherwise a few minutes with a voltmeter should get you somewhere. And as CBR929RE said, you might just have burnt out both filaments. Believable on some of the cheap aftermarket blinkers I've had experience with.
