those are spares. the fuses you need to check are under the hood next to the battery, The box is sitting against the firewall and to the left of the battery.

As much as I work on these

As much as I work on these you think I would have remembered that.!!!!
I pulled the cowl screen off and boom! there it was..3 blown fuses..My sunroof still doesnt cooperate. Hit the button and there is nothing there. At first it would just go back but I wound it forward and then it just goes up/down..You have to keep hitting the switch. Now its stuck up. Thanks Ivory GT and everybody else..

I can't imagine the 06 did this to your car, all the circuit and load should be the same. There could be a short somewhere that's causing this. I experience the same problem only because I installed the Quad projectors and 2 extra ballasts draws extra current initally and so I changed the 10A to 15A and everything is fine now.

It doesn't make sense to me why a fuse would blow since you are still using the the same D2 xenon bulb. The only thing that has changed is the headlight housing.

My car was in an accident and the body shop is installing the 06 headlights for me as well. If they get done anytime soon I will let you know if they did anything different.

Keep us updated as well.

everything is working now..My car was in a wreck and the complete pass. side wiring harness was cut in half..I soldered and heatshrinked everything back to normal. I had blown fuses that were under the cowl screen fuse box. The sunroof still didnt work but I turned switch off/then on, hit button up 6times turn switch off/then on, hit up 6x; same procedure 3 times.. Then hit down button switch off/then on and everything works fine.

Sounds like big process.. But not too bad. Thanks again for the help and questions. Derick
