Default Low beams not functioning

Good afternoon all. My Low beams have stopped functioning. DRL's, hi beams, dimmer switch, parking lights, fogs all working. I installed HID's a few months back and they have worked great up until yesterday. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

Hey damien, first step is to install a standard bulb and see if they work. Let me know how that goes and I can give you the next trouble shooting steps

How about the fuse for low beams under the hood. Mine blew out a week ago and I had the same problem.

Could not locate a fuse for the low beams. I did try an original bulb and nothing. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,

Ok, so if original bulb doesn't work look for the headlight relay. It should be in the main fuse block under the hood.

It's a 50A square fuse that you can see from the top if it's blown or not. When I'm by the car ill snap a pic of it

Have you checked the fuses?

Underhood Upper fuse panel:

DRL/EXIT LTS
EXIT LTS

If you used a harness to tap power directly from the battery there is most likely an inline fuse in it also.

Hey David, thanks for the help. I have located the headlight relay, but it is in the side dash drivers fuse panel under a second cover. Is this what I am looking for? Thanks again,
