I have searched online and in the forums and there is no mention of where the headlight fuses are located at. I am hoping someone can tell me where it is so that I can check for a possible blown headlight fuse. Most cars have a fuse for each light but I can't find even 1 of them. If anyone knows please let me know!

do you know which side to take off? as in is there an actual fuse box where the fuses will be at?
lmao omg i thought i was the only one i felt sooo stupid when i couldnt find the fuse its inside the engine bay no need to take anything off its were the battery is but behind it u need to take off the molding thing and its behind the battery there should be 1 in front of it as well
As a rule--Headlites arent fused. They have circuit breakers that reset. That will generally get you home so you can find the prob, rather than driving down the interstate and just BLACKING OUT. Chk your responses. Im too lazy to go to the schematics right now (Bed Time)

It's dark outside now I'll have to check it out tomorrow. I was searching around the battery but since i didnt have a flashlight i couldnt see ****. I fuigured it had to be by the battery because when i flipped the switch by the steering wheel there was a clicking sound by the battery behind it so I figured it would be there. That's so lame, they should make it like many other cars, right on the side of the driver door when you open it up, that would be much easier!

haven't gone out to work on it its dark rigth now. But do you know if there are fuses for each headlight or are they relays? Problem is that my passanger side headlight isn't getting any power but the driver side is working fine. Hopefully its a cheap .10 cent fuse and not a $40 relay
How do you know is not getting power? It could be as simple as a light bulb or as bad as a ballast gone.
Just looked at the schematics. There are 4 fuses for the headlights and 2 relays. 1 fuse for high beam LH, 1 for high beam RH, 1 for low beam LH, 1 for low beam RH. then here is one relay for high beam and another for low beam for both headlights.
Now, since you have aftermarket HID on a NON-HID headlamp is hard to trouble shoot that way. I'm guessing that your HIDs are for lows only. Does your high beams work?

yeah my high beams work, all other ligths work. the driver side low beam works, but the passanger side does not work. When you turn on the headlights the driver side ballast box clicks and makes sounds as if you can hear the power/current (unless thats the bulb making the sound). The passanger side does nothing. I have extra ballasts and tried a new ballast and it doesnt work either, so the ballast should not be the issue. it can either be a blown fuse for the passanger side of a busted bulb. I have extra bulbs for replacing I just dont want to have to do it because ti will require me to jack up the car and get all dirty in there, so I am hoping it is a simple fuse for the passanger side only. I have not checked current at all as I can't get in there until I jack up the car. I am hoping it is a fuse.

got it done finally. It was a blow 15 fuse for headlight lowbeam right hand side. I don't know why there is no mention of that fuse box in the manual (basic owner's maanual). Would be much easier if they were all in one spot.
lmao omg i thought i was the only one i felt sooo stupid when i couldnt find the fuse its inside the engine bay no need to take anything off its were the battery is but behind it u need to take off the molding thing and its behind the battery there should be 1 in front of it as well
