Yes, 1st thing, check the fuses for whatever side is bad for lighting. If it's blown, and it blows after replacing the fuse, then you have to search for where it's going to ground and shorting-out.
Yes they are in the fuse box, turn-over the lid and see the fuse diagram for whichever is bad, then remove that fuse to examine it. Of course the fuses have the probe contacts on the top of the fuse where the fuse amps # is. Some people may not know those tiny silver spots on either side of the amps # are there to use a meter or a continuity tester, and are actually part of the fuse prongs going into the females in the fuse block.
Start w/the simple things. Check your fuse(s)!
Headlights have a 'burnout' mode to dimly-light-up so oncoming traffic still sees there is a car or truck coming towards them, and not a motorcycle.
