Default High Beams Not Working

Completed the HID switch with new housings and installed HIR highs in place of the OEM highs. Now only, one side of my high beams will fire (passenger side).

Bulbs have been checked, wiring harness has been checked and I even bypassed the HID harness and pluged the OEM connector into the bulb with negative results. Pretty lost.

I searched, but is there a specific fuse/relay/etc I may have blown during the install? It's pretty puzzling because nothing is really touched with the high beams during this. They did work before.

Check the fuse.I believe it is listed as (HB) high beam.

Your owners manual should show engine fuse box fuse #12 is for the driver side high beams.

Wow, I'm dumb.

High beam fuse #12. Blown, changed, fixed issue.

Imagine that. Thanks for the help.
