The circuit for the driving light, (the one for the taillight to stay on) keeps burning out. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Thanks

Look at the bulb socket for corrosion or loose wire, look at wiring harness under rear fender maybe its pinched or worn thru somewhere

Probably the switch inside the left housing. Many have reported it shorting to the housing. Re-orienting the switch or electrical tape will fix that.

Mine did this after I replaced the headlight and reverved the two small wires on the sockett. Put them on right, installed fuse. No problems.
