this is for a 06 x sedan

i have been running bi-xenon hids on my fogs/hi-beams fine for over 1 year.

now recently i replaced my battery which by the way, this car is the MOST inconvenient time i had replacing a car battery. Who's the idiot that thought to have to remove the whole weather-stripping just to take out a battery? sigh.....

Anyhow, after i replaced the battery my fogs stopped working.

i can still hear a click when i high beam, but no lights turn on from the fogs.

i'm thinking the relay is fine, and it might be a blown fuse.

Now, the fuse.........

is it located on the side of the battery? i think the service manual calls it ipmd or something.

if it is, what kind of fuse do i need exactly? is it the large square type? the regular slim rectangular?

or if it's not the fuse, what else could it be?

i thought maybe the aftermarket hids crapped out on me, but then i never had both lights going at the same time from all the years i've used aftermarket hids.

Can anyone help? pictures would be great!

 

Your high-beams have two seperate 10amp fuses #72 and #74 in your IPDM (thats the box on the firewall behind the battery, even more fun to get to). Your fogs share one 15amp fuse #88 in the IPDM. As long as you hear the relay clicking then this is likely to be the fuse that's blown. Pic below.

 

thank you for the very detail pic!

i'm going to try this on new years day, i'll let you know how it goes.
