Hi,
I don't know if its the same setup as The FZS600 Foxeye but this might be helpful, as I experienced a head lamp and instrument lighting problem about 2.5 years ago
The Foxeye FZS600 (Maybe Boxeye as well) has a multi-pin plug and socket under the left hand side fairing infill panel (White colored unit) I lost all lights at one point, but, turn off ignition and they came back on, the bike manifested this problem for a couple of weeks but as I don't ride at night very often it was not so much of a problem, although I like the dipped headlights on whilst riding at any time of the day.
I had to use the bike one night and whilst riding down an unfamiliar county lane I was thrown into complete darkness, fortunately enough I had just gone round a sharp left hander that had gravel in the centre of the lane so was down to about 15-20 MPH when it went black, so was able to stop before coming to grief.
The problem was the aforementioned white Multi connector under the L/H side fairing infill panel, water had been getting into it and had caused the pins to corrode on half of the joints, I cut the wires tight to each side of the connector on the corroded pins, bared about 15mm of wire on each pair slipped small bore heat shrink on each pair of wires twisted and soldered the wires together slipped the heat shrink over the solder joint (When it completely cooled) played a gas fag lighter over the joints and Bob is your uncle.
I only did this to the corroded pairs, I spayed the connector liberally with WD 40 pushed them back together and held the 2 halves tight together with a couple on long cable ties, that was 2 years ago and it has never caused another problem.
To start with just remove the clutch side fairing infill panel switch the ignition on and the lights and juggle squeeze push and pull the large white connector and see what happens they might just flash on, if so that's your problem.
