Fuses?

Did you check the bulb by powering it up or swapping it over? Sometimes they can look fine but still be u/s.

Once I caused the main beam fuse blown by mistake

The opposite side rear lights were also gone with the same fuse.

Are the rear lights working in yours? They are like [Front Right -- Rear Left] connected.

i checked the bulbs when the first side went out and both ok, led a wire from the working side and both beams came on, now nothing could it be a suspect feed or if its the fuse where is it?

Was it cabin or engine room fuse box, I don't remember

.
Owner's manual is in the car. Anybody else?

EDIT: I found a list where the fuses are marked as,
High beam (R) 12, (L) 13
Low beam (R) 14, (L) 15
all 10A, engine room fuse box.
