Where is the fuse located for the headlights? Are there even fuses present? I know the fuse box is in the engine compartment, but none of the fuses are labeled 'headlights'. My left light got fried, I changed the harness and the bulb and it still won't work.

Some research and troubleshooting is in order.
Do you have a multimeter or test light, and the knowledge of how to use it to test for power and ground?
1. Do you have the car's owner's manual? Look in Fuses in the index, and it should show you the car's fuse box(es), and you should be able to see which fuse is for the headlights.
2. Regardless of #1, it would be good to test EVERY fuse in the car. Not visually, but probe each side of each fuse with your test light (with the ignition on and headlights switched on too), to make sure each one has power on both sides.
3. Test all wires at the plug going to the headlight. Depending on whether your high beams use separate bulbs, there will be two or three wires........... one should be ground, one should be low beam positive, and the other should be high beam positive.
Some cars feed constant power to the headlights, and switch the ground on and off instead, but testing should still be the same.
Find out which of the two signals is missing........ are you missing the ground, or missing the positive? Then troubleshoot from there.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
