The same thing happened to me when I first got my 2006 roadster. It's easy to turn the switch to far.

So now all ya gotta do is determine: Is it the Brake light? Then the bulb is in backwards. Is it the tail light? THen you are turning the headlight switch counterclockwise too far.

Easy Peasy! Not only is the owners manual your friend (a .pdf file is in the documents collection), but I believe the socket of the bulb has pin guides that are are offset and match the bulb base (so don't accidently assume the bulb is inserted into the socket correctly). Good luck!

The OEM brake lights also have an elongated contact, not round.
