Dead headlight

Dead headlight
I was just installing an HID kit on my Z, and the install seemed to go well.
I then fired up the lights; the passenger side light came on, but the drivers side did not. I checked the connections under the assumption that something was loose. Nothing was. I tested the old H7 headlight in the stock housing to see if there was a problem with the ignitor/bulb ballast. The old headlight was not turning on with the stock wiring.
I used a multi-meter to see if the headlight was getting any current, it was not. However, everything else in the headlight, (high beam, parking lights, turn signals) were functioning. The only thing that was not working was the low beam.
I searched and did not see anything listed about fuses for the headlights, finding only a small reference about a high current smart fusebox that could possibly control the headlights, but nothing definitive was given in the thread.
Short of having to try and following the maze of wiring throughout the car, does anyone know where I can look to see if this dead low beam headlight is all being caused by something simple?
I have checked all the fuses inside the car, and they were fine. All the fuses underhood were fine as well; if anyone has some idea of where else I can check I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

OK, well I see no one was able to field an answer for me, Well, I found out where the fuses are. They are under the hood, behind the battery, and under the shroud at the cowl. So, just in case anyone pops a headlight, or any of the other multitude of fuses in that particular block, here is a reference for them.
