Pat - This may sound dumb - But you changed the headlamp. What about the parking light connector? IIRC the tail light and Parking light are on the same circuit.
WELL HERE IS A SMART REFLEXION thanks for bringing it to the fore,
when I changed the headlights from a different led to a new one I noticed the parking lights connection in the bowl tucked behind the lights there was no bulbs in either side but the wires were still connected to the plastic plug so I just put them back before installing the new headlights however now that you say they are connected to the same circuit as the rear I will investigate further I have the manual and the revision part as well . nevertheless with the old led headlights I had the rear light working with the parking connectors tucked behind as well ...further head scratching this afternoon....
the idea to tape a bicycle tail light on the fender becomes more and more of a cheap and easy solution
